Lurked too long, Had to get involved..

Been reading this forum for a while now. Thanks to all of you for your advice in the past, whether or not you knew you were giving it.

I certified in the spring and I'm doing my Advanced next weekend.

I guess you could say that I'm hooked.

(BTW....What is this "reef" thing that I hear about? It seems to be mentioned alot with something called "warm water".)

Welcome to the boards. Reef thing, what is cold water all about?? I am sure that the saying that beauty is in the beholder goes for water temp as well. Or "some like it hot, some like it cold". Me I prefer oh, the bath water temperature is great, but I can dive 70 something as well.
Whatever is your liking just keep on diving.

Bottoms up....Bubbles up!!!

Just wanted to say hello

From ARIZONA all beach and no ocean


The REEF I believe is a fantasy.

Warm water depends on who you follow

Cheers Big Ears,

Hi Ontario Diver from Michigan,

Just got done diving the West Bay of Lake Michigan in Traverse City so I guess this week I like it cold. Off to saltwater this fall.

I just signed on to this scuba board myself. Hope you have a lifetime of wonderful dives.

This weekend I'm up at Tobermory for a weekend of deep wreck diving. Around Toronto, there is not much. There is the Sliego over in west Humber Bay. You'll have to travel an hour or so for most good dives (and I hope you like wrecks and/or zebra mussels.)

Tobermory is excellent. Kingston is awesome. Penetanguishene is cool but you'll need to charter a boat.

If you want a short trip. there is a wreck off of the shore at Barrie which is an hour north. She is the Morrison which was a wooden paddle wheeler that burned in the late 1800's.

If you need to rent kit, check out http://www.scuba2000.com and their bulletin board. They may also be able to help you find a buddy (I'm on vacation this week so you could give me a call) and may be able to pick out some non-quarry dives. Tell'em Matt sent you. (It will not get you any discount or stuff, but they'll remember when "I" need a favor <G>.

Hey, ON... where in Ontari-ari-o do you hail from?

A former Ontarian here... now living in landlocked Atlanta.

Scuba 2000... isn't that the old Wet Shop in Richmond Hill? I heard they'd changed their name & moved.

I was born and raised in North Bay....Now I'm living and working in Toronto. (in the D.V.P. and 401 area)

You are right, Scuba2000 is the old Wet Shop. They had to change the name when the four "Wet Shop"'s separated. (The one in Barrie is now called Zero Gravity) They are in Richmond Hill at Hwy 7 and Leslie. They have their own training pool and a large shop. They also have top notch instructors.

As for Atlanta, Two words! "Fado's" and "Buckhead". Gotta love that town. And what, 8 hrs drive to the Keys? Or north to the Carolina's? Way Too Cool.
