Dive Sites of the Seaway Trail

New York Sea Grant is coordinating the establishment of five model scuba diving sites along the 454-mile Seaway Trail Scenic Byway. The dive site system includes the New York State David W. Mills Submerged Cultural Preserve and Dive Site near Oswego, the Eagle Wings Dive Site near Clayton and three additional sites under development. Each will be accessible from some point along the Seaway Trail.

The Mills is a shallow historic site suitable for diving and snorkeling. The Eagle Wings is a natural features dive site. The additional sites will focus on themes including intermediate and advanced deep wreck diving, and shore-access wreck diving. Each site is stewarded by a local organization.
