Never mind. Keven has taught me not to admit my mistakes. Thats what it was. A mistake. Two actually. The first was thinking that my small frame could make it through, the second was making a post here. Jimmy, by the way, since I'm not sure it's really been mentioned, nice pics. And...

Well then Kevin, you'd better start lobbying for no dive sites period. You're forgetting that bubble exhaust contributes significantly to wreck deterioration. I gather from your stance on the matter you never penetrate wrecks? Additionally, I wasn't asking if the Munson's bucket was a...

I've never had an issue just diving Walmart track pants or shorts and a light fleece or T shirt in Tobermory ( coldest area I dive in summer at 38-42 F at times) but mind you, I also dive a Brooks Seal suit and they're compressed neo so there's a lot of warmth built in. I did, however use the...

Hmm, it's straight through with a slight left hook and up through the timbers. I managed to do a circle to see how my buddy was. Maybe you're bigger than I. Are we talking about the same area? Silt? What's that? :) Vis was actually quite fine. Anything on that broken plate? It was located on a...

I was in Kingston two weeks ago and stayed at a rather unique Bed and Breakfast. A retired Coast Guard Ice Breaker. We had the VIP cabins at 125 bucks a night, included admission to the adjoining Marine Museum and breakfast. Barely a five minute walk to downtown as well. If you choose this type...

My personal fav is the Bridge Island Motel / Camp ground at Mallorytown Landing. On site grocery, RV hook ups and camper shower/bathroom. Rates are reasonable and you're right next to St. Lawrence Islands National Park. It's about a 10 minute drive to a majority of the Dive operators docks

I'm still finding rust on my gear from the Munson's bucket due to my swim through of said bucket on July 5th. :) Nice Comet shot by the way. Question for you. We had a DM in training rag on one of the advanced divers in our group for doing the swim between the boilers. Since you've dived her...

Very adult. "For the rest, it's not even worth a response. As I said before, with people like you, there is no value to any discussion. Just a waste of time." You didn't offer discussion.

Ahh..so that site is only appropriate for....you or those like you? That's certainly the only conclusion anyone can take from your arguments to date and you seem to totally disregard the boat factor in this which I find odd to the extreme unless you happen to be one of those boaters. I don't...

No I 'm not either being condescending nor am I affiliated with any dive shop other than being a customer of the local shops. I also agree to disagree in your point that divers should stay out of the water in that site.

How can you possibly predict the stupid actions of another person? In regards your point #1.: The site has always been flagged, anytime I've been there, students or not. Common sense. Guess you've not dived the area in some time. Regards point #2: It goes from the deepest area of the lake to...

Then shops may as well stop taking their students to ANY Open Water area that contains a boat. It doesn't matter much if it's a seasoned diver or a student. The hull will bite either's head and I seriously doubt that even a newbie isn't thinking " Where the hell's that whining sound coming...

I doubt that the Barrie Police have any charges that they could throw at a diver not dragging a flag. Obstructing a waterway? Common sense ought to prevail in this instance of BBP anyway. It's a dock. Boaters use docks so do divers. It's just a matter of time before there's another meeting of...

DR, it's a high traffic area and relatively shallow ( just deep enough for a giant stride) at the end of the dock to a good distance out. I agree with Diver Eh on the need for flags , no matter your ability or equipment in that area. Is your mellon worth less than a flag? Unfortunately, there...

Yup. It was entirely my fault and I lucked out. Buddy and I were last out of a wreck, with bare minimum on a training dive. I was using my second hand J valve that I normally have ny tied into the reserve on position. The shop employee that filled the tank, cut it off and I hadn't noticed during...
