Dark-water Lake Muskoka wreck for charter divers.
Dark-water Lake Muskoka wreck for charter divers.
Wreck of the Waome is a classic Lake Muskoka charter dive for advanced divers. The wooden steamer sits upright in dark tea-colored water, with a full interior, multiple entry points, and the feel of a night dive even in daylight. Lights, cold-water exposure, and careful buoyancy matter more here than raw depth alone.
