Bus - you forgot ... the other way to tell us Canucks apart from those on less fortunate side of the river - we are the ones actually diving instead of talking about it :D

I've been following this thread since it started, mainly because this wreck is on my list of must dive and hopefully in the near future. I was always led to believe that it was on the deeper side and was surprised to read that you were able to do most of your dive within 130'. That said, I...

Hopefully your new career opportunity works out for you. As has already been mentioned - lots of diving opportunities in the great lakes ... particularly some amazing wreck diving. If you have your passport handy, you might consider a couple of trips over to the other side of the river. There is...

I'll be going in at Port Lambton - I should be there with a couple other divers between 6:30 pm - 7 pm. We usually meet at the small park across from the bank/grocery store. You are welcome to join us if interested.

The drop started as early as Wednesday - when I did the S-man we went in from the furtherest parking lot and after swimming out we dropped down to 20'. At about 10' I noticed a thermocline ... and I mean I really noticed it ... I had decided to do the dive without a hood or drysuit underwear. As...

I am planning on being under the bridge tonight. Likely just the barge/monarch. I am thinking around 6 pm. My limiting factor is I might be on a charter tomorrow in Dunkirk NY (on Lake Erie) so that is a 5 hour drive and I will be leaving at some point tonight. I'll try to post this afternoon...

Oops - my bad, that is what I meant to say. I guess I'm still working on learning to word this type of concept correctly. Thanks Tortuga68 for your answers. I did read the entire thread but it was a bit heated at times so I apologize for asking this again but, what are the practical issues of...

Thanks for sharing your experience with this course. I had heard of this course before and although I had never considered it for myself ... your experience's have been a useful insight for myself. However I do have a few questions/thoughts? The above statement has me scratching my head -...

I heard from my LDS last night that Diversco is not going to be the Canadian distributor for Sea&Sea anymore. Is there a replacement in place/planned?

Within the last month, I had an opportunity to do a chamber dive. Below is the post of my experience. Personally I felt it a very valuable tool to understand that I am likely suffering from narcosis much sooner then I had thought before. One of the people in the chamber was a DMC that I've been...

On a recent "chamber dive", I asked the attendent about some of the more interesting experiences he has had and the most interesting he had was when he took a group of police officers (from a dive team) to 135'. Apparently the group was made up almost exclusively of "Type A" personalities and...

In this incident there was no bottom that the victim could have used to block the DM from getting to the tank valve - the DM should have been able to get under the victim at some point. I don't think I'll go for the strap - if I come in from the front and I get that close then that means I am...

Its taken me 3 days to get through this thread. To be honest, my thoughts and opinions have danced all over the place - both from additional information coming forward and from the opinions of the various thread participants. I would like to thank both groups since this thread has caused me to...

I've got some more bad news for you - it concerns Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny ... I hope you are sitting down for this one!!!

Welcome to SB and the world of diving. Niagra area has a fairly active group of divers - you may want to do a search on the niagra divers association.

I will be doing some shore diving on the Canadian side of the St. Clair River. It looks like mainly on the 5th - in Port Lambton which is across from Marine City and then later on the 5th I'm thinking of hitting one of the sites up around the blue water bridge. Then on the 6th I will be either...

This past weekend (June 27-28th), I was in Tobermory, Ontario (Canada) for some fun diving as well as for some courses that I was team teaching (AOW, Bouyancy, and Night). The courses and other diving was scheduled for the weekend proper so when we arrived on the Friday we had made plans to take...

My thoughts: 1) Awareness ... kind of broad but can include situational awareness of where your buddy is, status - what part of your dive your at (air consumption & NDL's), positional - proper trim and weighting in the water, and self - what are your abilities and how to stay within them or...

I agree with fppf ... shallow wrecks in Lake Erie really are wrecks - you can get the same effect by walking by your local lumber yard. There are a couple good ones around Pelee - Willis and Little Wachihicka (sorry - not sure of the spelling). If you are looking for a charter - I believe there...
