I believe Underwater Canada folded a few years ago. Locally - one of the best shows would be the Niagara Shipwreck Festival. Hosted by the Niagara Divers in Welland - this year it is being held on March 13th. Very few booths to visit but it is designed around the speakers. Lots of amazing topics...
My ears are burning.
Best time of the year is the first part of June - depending on the water temperature the main run can last up to the end of June. At the tail end of Lake Huron is where they spawn so if you want to see schools of them (I've seen upwards of 75 in one dive) then this is the...
Some of my favorites over the years (in no particular order):
1) Pt. Traverse - on the Canadian side of Lake Ontario, in the 80-110' range, very intact shipwrecks from the 1800's to the early 1900's. Better earlier in the year but the charter books up fast
2) Tobermory - fairly decent for...
I did my IDC at one of the schools that offer the zero to hero approach. Several members of my IDC class were enrolled in that approach. A couple others had taken an approach of jumping from one course to the next - not signed up for the zero to hero but definitely taking an accelerated approach...
Sea&Sea are pretty good at responding here to inquiries. I know you've been very patient already but just hang tight for a couple more days (there is a very real possibility that who ever from Sea&Sea responds to this site may be on vacation with the Christmas Holidays). One thing - I believe...
Ray - you might stand a chance to win this year ... the trash talking is getting pretty thick so its highly unlikely that Dean (or anyone else for that matter) is going to make the same mistake by giving out the sympathy votes.
No plans on video nights yet. We won't likely start those until...
Hey everyone,
I hope that Sarnia folks don't mind me posting this event in their section. If there is an issue then I'm sure one of the mod's would be willing to move it.
I just wanted to let everyone know that Red Devil Scuba is hosting its 4th annual u/w pumpkin carving contest on Oct...
Does anybody know who normally puts the jugs out on the Dunderberg and specifically when they normally bring them in for the year? Myself and acouple others are hoping to get in a dive in but it likely won't happen until the second half of October.
Well it sounds like I am going to be able to make it this year. Originally I figured it wouldn't happen since the weekend is also the Canadian Thanksgiving but I was just informed that I will be doing part of my DSAT Tech Deep course in Gilboa that weekend. Not sure how much time I will have for...
Dean called me and told me the same ... I think I am going to pass on the drive to Sarnia and go to Port Lambton instead. I should be there around 5:30 pm if anyone is interested in joining us there. We meet across from the grocery store.
Hopefully things don't get too bad ... I'm sure...
I had 60 above the thermocline which was at 55-60' and then 51 inside the wreck. I spent most of my time inside the wreck. Vis inside the wreck was easily 40'. I had attempted to get out to this wreck 2 other times this year but the weather hadn't co-operated. Definitely glad I got in at least...
Nice pic's - definitely a good time ... just too bad that Mother Nature wouldn't let us stay out there. When you've got vis like we had and to have to leave ... it is a shame.
September 19th there are a couple of project AWARE cleanups being planned on the other side of the river. One in Port Lambton (cross the ferry at Marine City and then head south for about 3-5 miles ... I almost went with KM's then realized which forum I was in), and one in Sarnia. I will be at...
Sorry for the thread hijack but just to let Busdiver know ... the Regina was a Canadian flagged ship so get your mind out of the gutter and pronounce the name the right way.
I have heard rumblings of some of the Chatham crowd going up to dive the Barge/Monarch tonight. I can't make it as I have other plans but I will be in Sarnia tommorrow morning with an OW student at the government docks (down the road from Stokes by the Bay), I will have one other diver with me...
Like I said - I'll be diving ... you'll be talking about it.
Water is over 60 degrees - feels like a bath to me. Can't make it Saturday ... I'm in Sarnia doing OW checkout dives.
Oops - my bad, how's this one sound: Mother Nature doesn't like me, we got blown off. Went diving in the...
