About SS Keystorm (Wreck)
SS Keystorm (Wreck) is a boat-accessed wreck dive on the U.S. side of the St. Lawrence River, known for its intact steel structure rather than reef life. The wreck spans a broad depth band and rewards steady buoyancy, line work, and wreck awareness more than casual sightseeing. Expect river current on the approach, a buoyed descent, and a site that can feel especially lively on night dives. Zebra mussels, fish, and other freshwater growth are part of the scene, while the wheelhouse and cargo sections keep this firmly in the scuba lane.

Local Intel For SS Keystorm (Wreck)
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
A buoyed wreck dive with a wide depth range, current on approach, and enough overhead structure that it suits wreck-trained scuba divers. Night dives can be rewarding.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target. The wreck's depth spread and overhead structure make scuba the sensible choice.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkel-focused site. The interesting structure sits too deep for meaningful surface-only exploration.
