The Sligo is a freshwater wreck located 2500 metres offshore in Lake Ontario. Resting at depths between 19 and 30 metres, with an average of 25 metres, this site is suited for intermediate divers. The wreck provides an overhead environment that requires careful buoyancy control and the use of a reel or line. Visibility typically ranges from 5 to 15 metres, though conditions can change rapidly. Water temperatures are cold, fluctuating between 3 and 15 degrees Celsius, necessitating appropriate thermal protection. Boat access is required to reach the site, and divers should be aware of potential boat traffic, entanglement hazards, and the risks of nitrogen narcosis at these depths.

The Julia B. Merrill is a freshwater wreck located in Lake Ontario, resting at a consistent depth of 18 metres. This site is suited for intermediate divers with strong buoyancy control, as the structure presents an entanglement risk during penetration. Visibility is variable, ranging from 3 to 10 metres, and water temperatures fluctuate between 3 and 15 degrees Celsius, necessitating drysuit use. The site experiences mild currents, but divers must remain cautious of active surface boat traffic. Access is exclusively by boat, and the use of a delayed surface marker buoy is essential for a safe ascent. Guided tours are available through local charter operators.

The Lyman Davis is a shipwreck resting at a consistent depth of 40 metres in Lake Ontario. This site is strictly for advanced divers, as it presents a full overhead environment and requires boat access due to its location 2500 metres from shore. Divers should be prepared for moderate currents and variable visibility ranging from 5 to 36 metres. Water temperatures fluctuate between 3 and 15 degrees Celsius, with thermoclines and temperatures as low as 1.7 degrees Celsius possible at depth. A drysuit and torch are essential equipment for this technical dive. Species recorded around this area include snail, common carp, alewife, white sucker, round goby, pike, rudd, small mouth bass, trout, american crayfish, and sun perch.

Lakefront Promenade Park features a man-made, protected swimming inlet in Mississauga.
