As a Canadian Scuba diver I can assure you the amount of wrecks in the great lakes is unbelievable. Over six thousands missing vessels and only over two thousand have been discovered. I am lucky enough to live in one of the greatest areas in the world for wreck diving. And a night dive is even more amazing to come across a sunken vessel in the middle of the night is quite a feeling.

True, the Great Lakes are littered with shipwrecks. From the time they began to sail the Lakes there have been wrecks. Everyone has heard of the Edmund Fitzgerald, but it's just one of thousands. Some of them are absolutely heartbreaking. Especially when there were no survivors.

Do you know why so many sunken boats? That is because the lake is more dangerous than the sea. That is because the lake needs special designed boats. This is because the waves aren't the same vs the sea, rhythm and space between waves re different.

@@nsnopper Also I heard and have found it to be true myself that very strong storms can form very quickly and come out of nowhere. It still happens today with modern weather forecasts, imagine depending.on the Farmer's Almanac only? One time diving in Tobermory we went down with decent weather a little overcast and came up to six foot swells and pounding rain 30 min later.

Once in a while, we actually see something nice/cool on the news

It’s a weird creepy feeling when a ship wreck comes into view when you scuba dive and you know it’s there- I can’t imagine how much creepier it would be seeing one on a dive you were not expecting. You can’t describe the feeling of approaching these things in the silent deep water. It’s quite the feeling.

Ocean going ships are now to change their ballast water in the ocean (salt water) when entering the St. Lawrence system. The salt water kills foreign species. Unfortunately I think this practice started after many invasive species had are entered the system.

Seriously?? 4 days and you haven’t fixed the title yet? Here’s the quality of information providers we have in Canada. You can’t find a shipwreck off Lake Huron in Ontario. You can however find a shipwreck off Ontario in Lake Huron. Hell, I’m dyslexic, and even I know the proper way the English language is supposed to be structured. I guess when your news agency is subsidized by Canadian tax dollars, being accurate in the words you choose doesn’t really matter, because you’re gonna get paid regardless.

They're not just an invasive species. They're a harmful invasive species. Nothing eats them and they filter everything out of the water so nothing else can live there. You can see the rocks on the bottom fifteen feet down in places where your hand would disappear a few inches below the surface. On Lake Simcoe, they die off in the winter and pile up on the beach in drifts a couple of feet high. It stinks. They're also not useful for anything except possibly grinding up for fertilizer, and there are easier and cheaper ways to get raw materials for that.

I'd actually like to see their footage on their muscle research.

*Looks like that thing's coated in mussles*
