We are Scuba Plus dive centre, located in Simcoe Ontario. The shop has been in business since 1992, with Rick Westbrook as head instructor and owner. He has been teaching since 1990, his wife Cindy has been teaching since 1994. Both have been diving Lake Erie since 1979. The boat is 28 feet long, and therefore doesn't require the use of Captain's Papers, but Rick is obviously a licensed boater. He has been boating on the lake for well over 20 years and knows it well. This will be our second season running a charter operation in the lake. As for emergency response, we are all CPR certified as rescue divers, we have all required safety equipment on board, as well as O2. We have GPS with us at all times as well as cell phones in addition to the boat's radio. We will call off charters if the weather demands it, as we have no interest in adding yet another wreck to the list in Lake Erie. As it says in the flyer, all money will be refunded if we cancel a charter due to inclement weather.
I hope this answers all concerns. Please feel free to contact Scuba Plus for more info on their operation or pricing. I hope to see some of you out this summer to enjoy our wrecks.
