Sweepstakes is a shore accessible fresh water dive site, located in Big Tub Harbour, ON, Canada. This dive site has an average rating of 4.25 out of 5 from 4 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 21-25ft/6-8m. The average visibility is 26-30ft/8-9m.

This two-masted schooner was damaged off Cove Island and then towed to Big Tub Harbour where it sank in September 1885. The hull of the vessel is still intact with the windlass and a portion of the bow rail still in place. For both conservation and safety reasons no penetration of the wreck is permitted. One of the most popular wrecks in the park, it is visited by divers, snorkelers and tour boat passengers.
