A dive on the Rothesay and on another smaller sailing vessel (intentionnaly sunk), just outside Prescott (Ontario). Not much left of the Rothesay as such to see but tons of fish hiding about. Perch, bass and one HUGE pike.

  • Each time that I drive by on the hwy 2 and see cars and trucks parked at the point,I always wondered what the wreck looked like...Thank you for the video.You satisfied my curiosity...Maybe I'll have the guts one day and take a diving course...

  • Glad I could help:-)

    Contrary to what many divers would like everyone to believe, it is not really abig deal to dive. It is a sport like any other and can be learned by anyone.

  • Great video !!! Your shout of the Round Goby (Apollonia melanostoma) are awesome. The Rothesay collided with a tug called Myra on sept 12 1889 and sank at her present location. In 1901, Royal Military College in Kingston... blew up the wreck amidships in a munition exercices... The Rothesay was rediscovered on sept 25, 1964 by the Underwater Society of Ottawa and remains a very popular dive site. Again, A+ for this video. Thanks!

  • Thanks all for the good words. I am glad you enjoyed this video.

  • the fish at 1:00, u have to KILL them... there INVASIVE, from asia, thier called round gobies or something, and they eat perch eggs

  • You're right. They are a non-native and invasive species that is screwing up the aquatic ecosystem. Like zebra mussels they were brought in the St-Lawrence river by sea going ships when they flush their ballast tanks.
