    Local Divers: How long does it take you to get to your favorite dive site?

    4 hr drive to Tobermory, Ontario. We dive at least 1 weekend a month there from May -October. ...sometimes more, but never less. It's some of our favourite diving.

    Dive Shop Recommendations for Lake Erie and Lake Ontario

    lol...it's certainly not cozumel. Max depth is like 20-30 ft, usually less, visibility varies, but it is quick. There are videos on YouTube showing what it's like. There are boulders you have to either vault, or go around. I like it, but my wife does not really enjoy it. She usually acts as...

    Question Which ones are the "Russian boats" doing liveaboards in Hurghada/Sharm/Port Ghalib?

    I don't think it's weird. I like some diversity on the boat, it keeps things interesting, but you also don't want to feel like you're missing out on a lot of the banter due to language differences /barriers. On day charters, this is less important, but on a liveaboard I'd like everything to be...

    Dive Shop Recommendations for Lake Erie and Lake Ontario

    Depending on when you're planning on visiting, I might be able to arrange something, or at least help facilitate. My wife and I live in Hamilton, and dive regularly in the area. We are also friends with the couple running one of the active charter boats, and are always happy to jump on to fill...

    Dive Shop Recommendations for Lake Erie and Lake Ontario

    Dan's is a great shop, that's who I use locally. They also run boat charters on Erie and Ontario. They can take care of anything you need divewise.

    Question Best time for DM?

    why the secrecy? I can never understand when people come online, with a request for info or opinions, and fail to give all the details when asked for them. You seem to think that this shop is good (you're contemplating working for them) but you won't state which shop it is?

    Review Seaskin Nova drysuit

    altamas here. two sizes up from normal, and in the wide version. Insoles stay in. For reference, I wear a 9w with 2mm socks for diving wet, and an 11w for use with neoprene socks on my Novas. As far as back up suits.... my wife and I dive locally....quite a bit. We're only 4 hours from...

    Time for a new wing. Looking for suggestions and/or opinions

    I'd probably go with a 40lb wing. I went with a 40lb Halcyon and a steel plate, using an hp 100. I still need another 16 lbs of lead in a drysuit, and I like the extra lift on the surface. The actual size difference between a 30lb and 40lb wing isn't really significant, although I use a 30lb...

    Question Preparing physically and mentally for cold water dives

    mammalian diving reflex maybe? I've experienced something like this a couple times, always in cold water. For reference the majority of my diving is in the Great Lakes, with temps as low as 37° F below the thermocline, depending on the time of year. On these couple occasions, I've had a mask...

    Lake Michigan - looks so easy

    I'm so glad I'm smack dab in the middle of Lake Ontario, Lake Erie, and Lake Huron....makes for excellent local diving. With that said, the Great Lakes definitely deserve respect. Most people have no idea just how big these bodies of water are.

    Scuba Diving in Costa Rica?

    I'm in Costa Rica right now, diving with Rocket Frog. We've done the Catalinas, and Bat Island, and had what was probably my best dive day ever, including dozens of Bull sharks, a pod of dolphins, 3 humpback whales 10' from us, and a bunch of jumping rays. With that said, the visibility is NOT...

    Great charter experience on Georgian Bay Explorers, out of Penetanguishine

    We've been out with them before a couple of times, albeit not on this boat, and had a great time. We did the same wrecks, and enjoyed them quite a bit. What did you do for fills? There's not much in the way of options that way...
