Mike Adam and two dive mates went diving in April 2021 in Hammond River, New Brunswick, in the hopes of finding salmon and possibly wreckage from a truck that crashed off the bridge in the 1980s.
In New Brunswick, Canada, the Hammond River is a tributary of the Kennebecasis River. It goes for around 40 kilometres (25 miles) through southern Kings County and into Saint John County. It begins in the Caledonia Highlands at Hammondvale and flows west to its confluence with the Kennebecasis River. The river is joined by a short tributary draining Darlings Lake at the mouth of the river, in the rural settlement of Nauwigewauk.
The Hammond River is one of the few rivers in the world where Atlantic salmon can still be found spawning. It was named for Andrew Hamond, who owned land in the area and served as Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia from 1781 to 1782.
Even though Mike and his friends were unable to locate the salmon they still had a fun dive and cleared some trash out of the river.
