Innerkip?

[two.crows]

Does anyone have information about the current situation in Innerkip? I've tried unsuccessfully to call, several times now, and I have heard that there may have been a change of ownership over the summer (then again, maybe I just had a wrong number)..

I've never been there (new to Toronto) and would hate to make the drive out from the city to find myself with a trunk full of rental kit before a locked gate or such...

Viz should be nice this time of year, shouldn't it? Or would it be frozen already?

Thanks for any information!

Two Crows, I don't know about Innerkip, but yesterday I was in Sherkston Quarry, off Hwy 3, near Crystal Beach, they will be open next weekend ($8 admission). Viz was 30 ft, no ice. The quarry maxes out about 45 feet. Of course, either Innerkip or Sherkston is swamplike in the summer.

Try these two numbers as well:

Innerkip quarry (a.k.a. Trout Lake Park)
(519) 469-3363 in summer, (519) 469-3431 in winter.

Why waste your money diving in these miserable quarries when you have Lake Ontario or Simcoe to dive locally for free and there is no one at some gate to take your money.

... Because I'm new to the area and en route to explore, starting with shore dives that I can reach with not much more than an hour's drive.

Any nice spots come to mind?

What I'm aware of so far is essentially what's listed here (plus Humber Bay Park)

Take care.

Don't forget Gullivers Lake http://www.gulliverslake.com/lake.html
I don't know if thier open but it's worth a call. Clean and clear, max deplth at 25ft and it's much closer to the big smoke!!

... that actually was my last dive

For skills training, gear checkout and such it's a pretty decent site. $10 access fee per person if I remember right.

Give me your money and I'll let you dive lake Ontario or lake Simcoe. Come on guys if your going to dive than go out and dive some were that's a little more exciting and worth the drive.

Thanks Jurrassicdiver

What are your favorite spots nearby? Exciting and worth the drive?
