S.S. Ilex, Canada

About S.S. Ilex

A wreck dive. It goes down to 5 m. You get in from the shore. It suits Advanced divers and up, as a dive guide states it. The coast faces E: swell from the E reaches it, and wind from the W blows out to sea. No dive centre within 50 km on the map: book a liveaboard or a boat from further off. The sea is about 0°C in February, its coldest month (drysuit), and 14°C in August, its warmest (7 mm semi-dry or a drysuit). No town nearby. No stay checked for this site yet: Port Kirwan, 1 km away, is the nearest town we list. Nearest airport: YYT (YYT), 74 km.
