    Just wondering for those of you who do shore dives around the Lake Simcoe area, how is the parking for non-residents? I heard it's pretty pricey at $20 per hour but not sure if it's just around Barrie or if all the dive sites around there are like that?

    Anybody Ever Dived In Island Lake Orangeville Or Georgian Bay Collingwood?

    Just wondering if anybody ever dived in Island Lake near Orangeville? They always promote fishing and paddling there so I'm assuming decent fish life. Also what about Georgian Bay within the Collingwood area? I heard that the waters around the town are not too deep but if there's anything to...

    I'm wondering if there are any noticeable differences in mosquitoes between these resorts - Huracan, Dive Belize Haven and Blackbird - during the months from May to November.

    I'll be staying at Scuba Club Cozumel during the last week of November, 2021 and since they are not really serving dinners during this time period, does anyone know of any cheap dining options near there? I don't mind exploring any good local eateries or even food trucks to get more of the...

    I'll be at Playa del Carmen in late November which should be start of the bull shark season. I noticed that some dive ops do both feeding and observation type of dives while some do only observation. Usually the observation ones are less expensive but feature an additional reef dive too. For...

    I have a Bare trilaminate drysuit and have used Scubapro Easy Don drygloves which I hate. After getting one glove on, I need a buddy to get the other gloves wrist seal over the drysuit wrist seal which is a real bother. So I'm now looking at one of the dryglove ring clamping systems. I know...
