Freshwater Diving: Quarries, Niagara Falls & Great Lakes Wrecks in COLD Water
Dale Burrows

Dive Bio of Club Member, Dale Burrows:

​

 I was born and raised in Ontario Canada, and became a certified diver in 1977 diving  fresh water quarries. We'd do drift dives above and below Niagara Falls in the Niagara River from warm waters of the summer months  to riding the ice flows in the winter months.  

 

The Great Lakes offer some of the best wreck diving in the world with over 6000 identified wrecks and an estimated 5000 still to be found.  I've made dives on 200 year old shipwrecks that look like they would sail away if returned to the surface.  These wrecks are the best preserved shipwrecks in the world;  the elements that promote this preservation are the same that add challenges to scuba diving.

​

Even if you've never aspired to ride ice flows (?!), come hear Dale tell about it - you'll get the shivers!
