The Brockville area has earned critical acclaim as being one of the best freshwater scuba diving locations in the world. This is due to the clarity of the water, and the lack of thermocline. This unique and rewarding diving experience offers an exploration of century-old shipwrecks and artifacts that are scattered along the river bottom.
The Brockville area has earned critical acclaim as being one of the best freshwater scuba diving locations in the world.
Brockville became the first city in Canada to have an underwater sculpture park. Located at Centeen Park, the Centeen Memorial Dive Park has over 45 statues created by some of the area’s best artists and art students.
