    Question Fish Dives near Bruce Peninsula

    I am planning a trip from Detroit to dive Tobermory and Manitoulin Island in Summer 2024. I will be shore diving and am interested in seeing fish. Can anyone recommend shore dives on Lake Huron, within Georgian Bay, or any inland lakes in Bruce Peninsula that are good for fish watching?
