Comments: This is my favorite wreck dive so far. The Rothesay is a big old wreck with an nice and easy line to follow out to the site. A surprising number of freshwater sponges (looking like squishy, thick clumps of bleached roots) show the renewed health and clarity of the St. Lawrence. Lots of fish in and around the wreck.
Visibility was fair at the start of the dive, but by the time everybody had arrived at the wreck (the current was so gentle as to be almost unnoticeable) the silt kicked up had reduced visibility to less than 10 feet. Between that and the chill, I cut this dive short to only 30 minutes.
