Brockville and the 1000 Islands region has gained critical acclaim as being the "World's Best Fresh Water Scuba Diving" destination.

Part of the attraction to this site is the water clarity and that there is no thermocline. This unique and rewarding diving experience offers exploration of century old shipwrecks and artefacts that are scattered along the river bottom.

Shipwrecks close by include the H.P. Bigelow, Lillie Parsons, John B. King, Robert Gaskin, Muscallonge, Fleur Marie and the Rothesay.
