I remember a dive off the caves South of Tobermory - we were cruising among the large rock sections at about 60' and caught sight of a very large lake trout swimming away from us at about 80' with a lamprey dangling from his side! Very interesting but equally disturbing!

You will find that some of the bottled water is distlilled - we got some at Chedruai (the local supermarket on Av. R. Melgar) - across from PLG. We have not had any problems with any of the bottled water and none of our group got sick from the food (at Brisas). One person got a touch of...

Just back from Coz - wish I was still there!!!!! - +25C not -25C like here in the great white north. My room mate and I both tipped our waiter at the end of the week - he made sure our coffee was caliente every day and went out of his way to be of service! However, our package was all...

A number of hotels have beach diving opportunities. Plaza Las Glorias w/Aqua Safari has a really nice area that has been imnproved with artificial reef structures and lots of critters. Brisas (formerly Costa Club) also has a decent beach dive with lots to see. As far as the drift is...

If you are going to be in the Richmond Hill area, check out Scuba 2000 located in the Hwy 7/Leslie area. Check their website - Scuba2000.com Welcome home - the water's a balmy 35 - 40 F!

we have a large group coming down from the Toronto area (Scuba 2000) on Jan 4 for a week at Brisas (Costa Club). Stop by and say hello!

The work of SOS and similar organizations (POW) is highly commendable. The goal of wreck conservation/preservation is not their only focus. The nautical archaeology programs they carry out (surveys, research, etc.) serves the greater diving public and their education work helps to keep the...

Beer comes in 6 packs? I thought a 2-4 was the industry standard :D But seriously - I'll keep you posted. It will likely be July 7-9 for the diving portion of our trip. I'll be in FLL for a convention and we're trying to set up a continent wide get together under water. So far, Ontario...

No argument there, Tim. While waiting for the "dive boats" in Grenada, the operator asked "who wants a drink?". This was before the dives, before noon, and sitting near the bar! Must have been a trick question right? Fortunately for us the diving was incredible. On all 4 trips we were not...

Check with your cruise line/travel agent/tour operator - often times you can book diving excursions through the ship you are on - this will take some of the worry out of missing the boat (pun intended). If you can pre-book the diving it makes getting your reservation that much easier - and it...

Thanks for all of the excellent info. We'll be doing weekday diving so the crowds shouldn't be too much of a problem. Anyone else who can offer advice - please do! I'll post a message prior to our trip down so that anyone who wants to join us will be more than welcome. :)

I am currently setting up a series of dives in the Ft. Lauderdale area, for next July. We are interested in shore diving poissibilities - as long as they are worth while. Also, what is the driving time from FLL to Key Largo? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Last January - second week - water temp +/- 80F - air a bit warmer; we had heavy seas for the first 2 days but then it calmed down to perfection. 200' viz. Went home with evidence of days in the sun and wonderful memories. Can't wait for the trip this coming January!!!!!

If you can, spend a day at Chankanaab National Park - south end of the island. MANY little operators that rent tanks, etc. right on the beach. Shore diving is very pleasant and if you head several hundred feet south of the main beach area you can explore the "cave" area where the Tarpon hang...

Bon Echo Provincial Park - northeast of Trenton, ON; apparently this is one very deep and very dark wall. Check out Dive Ontario or Dive Ontario II by Chris Kohl for info or check in with an LDS in the Kingston area.

Shallow, close to T.O. and a good way to learn what a wreck looks like: The Juno, Bowmanville, ON. Check out the Scuba 2000 web site for current info on location, etc. under the Dive Travel - Great Lakes thread.

I've had good luck with WD-40

picture this: while in Cozumel last January - 3mm shorty - BLACK, with BLUISH PURPLE lycra running tights with LIME GREEN ankles, and YELLOW boots! made for some very colourful photos on the reefs! My buddy had no trouble finding me and the fish weren't scared away.
