About Oakville (Wreck)
Boat-access Lake Ontario work-barge wreck with a flat deck, a simple line-led route, and a muddy bottom. The wreck is easy to read underwater, but cold freshwater and variable Great Lakes visibility are the main planning factors, so the site works best for divers who want a controlled wreck dive and are prepared for cold-water gear, steady buoyancy, and a clean descent.
