Conestoga and Rothesay

Today seven divers made the voyage up the 401 to Cardinal; then to Prescott for some diving. Our first objective was the Conestoga, we got into the water at approximately 11:30 am. My initial navigating, had the group go to far south, and we missed the enitre wreck. It was made easier, to miss with the limited visibilty, as there were a few divers on the wreck already. After coming up from behind the wreck, we swam through the wreck and enjoy the current pushing us back down the wreck. The visibility was 20 ft maximum and lower in most places. The current helped get some of the silt out of the area. The water tempature was a very warm 70f/21c. The picture shows the stack at the Conestoga and how close it is to shore. On exiting the water 32 minutes later it seems that all avialable parking was taken. We seemed to have slipped in just before the rush. After a brief surface break; in which we visited Tim Hortons it was off to the Rothesay. On gettign to the Rothesay there were already 10 car loads of divers in the water. We quickly got dressed agian and made our way 400 ft off shore to the Rothesay. We spent about 35 minutes in the water agian with a max of 30 feet. The visibility was lower most likely due to the high usage of the site. The water was slightly cooler here at 68f/20c. Today was a perfect day to go diving and everyone enjoyed themselves on these two wonderful dives.
