By far one of Ontario's best wrecks, built in England, this 256 ft, 2,300 ton steel freighter sank in 1912 after hitting a shoal. The coal cargo was recovered seven years later. A visit to the Keystorm reveals why she is such a favorite. She streches from her bow at 25 ft depth to 115 ft depth at the props. It is an inviting superstructure with easy access through her wheelhouse area. About midship it is suggested that you back away 50 to 60 feet to view the entire panorama. Don't miss the air pocket trapped in the achor nest and the fatal gash on the underside near her bow!
With Martin under my arm, aux reg in mouth, this was his first view of an underwater shipwreck and the experience that likely sparked his interest in getting his PADI Jr. Open water on his 12th birthday!
