| Lillie Parsons, Brockville ON | N 44° 33.3', W 75° 43.1' | ||||
| Dive Number 229 | Buddy Jason | Surface temp 27°C | Starting pressure 3100psi | ||
| Depth 72ft | Visibility good | Time 35m | Water temp 20°C | Ending pressure 500psi | |
Notes: | For our second dive, Jason and I dove the Lillie Parsons whch is both a wreck and also a drift. He managed to swap his tank for another diver's steel 130 which allowed enough time for him to complete the drift and also last longer than me with his air. Post dive meal was at Dianne's fish Bar in Kingston, and then we went to Toronto with Chandra for supper at one of their favourite Chinese places! | ||||

| Muskellonge, Brockville ON | N 44° 36.1', W 75° 39.1' | ||||
| Dive Number 186 | Buddy Jason | Surface temp 27°C | Starting pressure 3100psi | ||
| Depth 85ft | Visibility good | Time 25m | Water temp 24°C | Ending pressure 1100psi | |
Notes: | Jason and Chandra came up for a single night stay and a double dive day. We hoked up with UnderWhere divers who took us out with two other divers for a couple Brockville dives. The first dive of the day was the Muskellonge, which sounded familiar to me, but about which I could remember no details. The wreck is an overturned vessel with a wide swim-through with walleye, sturgeon, and eel (conservation status August 2016: Threatened!) I managed to catch a glimpse of an American eel just before finding the boat, and we passed through the swimthrough, but the air reserve in Jason's steel 80 tank was waning and we turned without exploring the bow. Logging this dive this morning, I realize that we attempted this dive 100 dives ago but at that time were unable to complete the descent. Improvement! Success! | ||||
