About Islander (Wreck)
Islander is a historic shore-access wreck dive in Alexandria Bay on the U.S. side of the St. Lawrence River. The site uses a public dive park with parking and a short walk to the water, and the wreck slopes from a shallower stern into a deeper bow section. Expect a straightforward freshwater wreck with clear-water days, a light river current, and a profile that rewards steady buoyancy and relaxed planning.
