A group of New Jersey Divers on the wreck of the Keystorm in the Thousand Island area of the St. Lawrence Seaway. This dive was recorded using my Liquid Image HD Video Mask from Point of View Cameras. The Keystorm was a 250' steel steamer built in England in 1910. She was only two years old when she ran aground in dense fog October 26, 1912. Her crew escaped and she lay stranded on the shoal for five hours at which time she slid off the shoal into deeper water. Today, the Keystorm is one of the most popular dives in the area. Still lying on the shoal that sank her, the Keystorm offers a variety of dive profiles. Her bow lies in only 25' of water, with the deepest part of her stern in 115'. Divers can explore her bow area and the remains of her pilothouse. Moving deeper, one passes the cargo holds and her masts. The engine room, after cabin, and propeller are at the deepest part of the wreck. Upon reaching this point, the diver can turn around and let the current assist him/her back towards the bow and shallower water.
