About Robert Gaskin (Wreck)
Robert Gaskin is a classic St. Lawrence wreck dive with an upright hull, a light silt bottom, and a tight relationship to river traffic. It is normally dived by boat, while shore access turns into a long, demanding swim that only works for very disciplined planning and gas management. The wreck itself usually has mild current and sheltered sections, but the nearby shipping lane and passing boats can change the feel fast. It suits intermediate wreck divers who are comfortable with moorings, silt control, and busy river conditions.
