Skill
Level: Beginner
to Advanced
Site:
Good diving almost any time of the year, even good
ice diving off docks. Visibility is reasonable as long as you don’t stir up the
mud, there is not enough current to take any mud down river. Use safe diving practices. Check water conditions and boat traffic.
Site History:
From
ice dives in front of the old McCormack’s Restaurant to early “bottle” dives of
the 1960’s, the Clayton Riverfront and Dock has been a mainstay dive site from
the 1950’s up to the present. The Frink
Dock in the early 60's was dredged to sea-way depth of 26 feet. It was all rock
and Louie Snell with Skip Couch helping, got the job of drilling and dynamiting
to remove all rock so that the area could be dredged.
