[edit] Description
In 1976, the Arprior bridge was flooded during the creation of the Arnprior generating station. Enter the water and descend to approximately 15', turn south and you will find the top of the old bridge. You will find various items that have been discarded by people over the years such as, ATV parts, old TV's and street signs.
[edit] Access
This is a shore dive.
[edit] Hazards
If you descend to the bottom, bring a light as the bridge blocks all available light. It is also a good idea to run a line as you may find yourself in an overhead environment if you swim under the bridge.
During the summer there is boat traffic so fly a diver's down flag.
