    Diving in Toronto?

    Humber Bay is just outside of the port in Toronto so no need to sign waivers for the port authority. I believe there are a couple of charters near Oakville/Burlington. Most places are usually about an hour away... I'm sure others may have some ideas as well...

    How deep can you get at Humber

    I think that's about it unless you go really far out, at that point you probably need a boat.

    Recommend a LDS between Pickering and Vaughan

    There's three others I would recommend. Dive Source (out in Oshawa so not far from Pickering and you dont have to fight traffic going in and out of the city), Aquarius is at Dundas west of Jane and Scuba2000 at HWY 7 and Leslie...

    Trip Report - Zanzibar (stone town), Tanzania

    Cool - I'll have to try and check out Scubado while I'm there. Have an appointment tomorrow for my required shots, etc. From what I've read it says I need to provide proof of a yellow-fever shot and I need to get malaria pills, and probably a hep-a/b shot as well. Also read that its best to...

Very nice resort (recommend the "deluxe" tents) with friendly people as well as other travellers. Water was a warm 84F all the way down...

    Refresher Course

    I think you have a couple of choices but they are not really all that accessible by transit. Aquarius is probably OK to get to by bus, but I believe they use the Etobicoke pool, which might be hard to get to but its possible. Scuba2000 is up at Highway 7 and Leslie and has a pool on-site but...

    Where to start?

    Hopefully these answer some of your questions... You can pretty much dive from late April/May -> October/Nov. Surface temps are not the best but the water is usually above 40F at those times. I think some of the shops do provide suit rentals, you may just have to call them up to find out which...

    Temporate Climate Diving Gloves or Not ?

    I have a pair of 7mm gloves that I use for the waters here. When its warmer, I tend not to use them, but I really should as I've been cut but zebra mussels before. 7mm do limit your dexterity so 5mm ones might be what you should look into. You can also try renting some from your LDS to see what...

    Toronto - recommended dives and dive ops?

    theres the humber, but theres not really all that much to see... there's the sligo, this will likely interest you as it is a wreck. I'm not sure which shops run charters but I'm sure someone else will chime up. There's a wreck up in barrie (about an hour away)... Where are you staying and what...
