Story
The Niagara II was built in 1930 as a 182 foot steel freighter and later in life, converted to a sand sucker. In 1998, the Tobermory Maritime Association was formed with the objective of obtaining and sinking a new wreck to enhance the diving opportunity in Tobermory. After an extensive search, the perfect ship was found - the Niagara II. This exciting wreck was sunk in May 1999 and offers a wonderful diving experience for all levels of certification.
Diving the wreck
The Niagara II lies perfectly upright in approximately 100 feet of Georgian Bay's crystal clear water, just east of Little Cove. The top of her wheelhouse is at a depth of 45 feet, and both the bow and stern decks lie in the 65 feet range.
