We have caught many Salmon and Cod there around the Kelp beds and Halibut on the dropoff.
I am amazed that you have been diving in places that few others would attempt but sure wish i had been there!
C'mon...what happened? what happened? what happened?

Just a thought here....maybe that hole wasn't big enough !
Under the water AND confined spaces ! My phobia's setting in real quick. Let's hear the rest !!!

I have been there and done that or things very similar. I don't know if I am too old now or much smarter
The St Clare River has a six mph current and I have dove in it many times but to do so you really have to move from shelter to shelter. I have done drift dives there too and it is a ball but the problem is, you can not come up because of the huge ore freighters.
I have never dove in Kelp and have always wanted to. Never had the chance.
Actually taking off your tank and doing a pass through works pretty well but I prefer to keep the second stage in my mouth.
I am a waiting for the next installment, as the others are

Why not go to Gold River ( south on the map) and do a little "safe" panning?

especially the various conditions you have to be aware of to be able to do it safely,i kind of thing i might be a bit claustrophobic if i did it,but i guess if you work into at shallower depths you become more comfortable,or maybe the words confident.
do you have to be certified to hire out as a diver,i mean by the provincial authorities?

I feel that a person would be stupid now days to dive without taking lessons and getting certified. It is fun and easy. You can die down there.
I have never had problems with claustiphobia myself but if a person had that problem they better take up hiking. I have been in places I could not see beyond my face mask and diving under Ice is something else if you have that problem.
It is necessary to be in good shape to dive safely too, especially if you do any of the extremem diving. 30 ft dives on a beach detecting doesn't usually put much strain on you but the worse strain is the mental strain.
Very few divers get into troublem because of wildlife or equiptment failure. They get in trouble because of their actions. They do stupid things or panic. There is very little down there that is gonna hurt you if you keep your head. If a Great White wants to take a bite out of you, you are in trouble but most divers never see one.
Diving is one of those things that sounds much more scary than it actually is. You can be in ten feet of water or fifty and it feels no different.
It is a great sport.
