Wondering if the OUC (Ont. Underwater Council) is looking in to this fatality?

I, too, have never heard of this happening and have always observed wrecks from the outside, but now, I guess with the constant wave action and rusted panels, etc., Murphy's Law takes over.

Deeplou, glad to hear you're, too. Just curious, were you able to look up and see the roster tail from the props (I did in my one similar close-call years ago)?

Another thread started--looked but didn't find one initially, sorry, but hey, I can't wait to get out of my lawn chair and go!

Just a little too close for my comfort :eek:

Echo Island--that's the Arabia (#14 on the map). So sorry to hear about this. Parks Canada - Fathom Five National Marine Park - Diving

OMG! Crocodile Diving in Botswana's Okavango Delta

Tafflad, not to quibble about the timeframe since her passing but it was 14 months ago. However, as to what caused her to drown, I recall reading something early on (probably in an online newspaper) about conjecture that maybe it was a box jellyfish sting or a sea snake bite. Sorry, I can't...

"Veteran cave diver David Sawatzky told a Citizen reporter several years ago about being ambushed by a school of pike during one zero-visibility dive." -- ottawacitizen.com Zero vis, attacking pikes, who needs that.

So that's it? I gotta say, the thought of "global warming" heating up our Canuck water was nice for a while there.

The Bali Times article (Two Injured as Tourist Dive Boat Sinks off Komodo) near the bottom says, "It was not clear if the guests would be refunded for their trip, or if their accommodation in Bali would be paid for by the dive firm," yup, that would be my first concern as I'm jumping into the...

I was saddened to read about this in today's Toronto Star on page 2 (Aug. 4th). I watched Craig and liked him from the Holmes TV programs. I never met him but he seemed like a really cool, down-to-earth guy. My condolences to his family and friends.

How deep, temp., what are the currents like?

Good video--was that a GoPro camera? What was the temp down there?

You must've been pretty close. Do you remember how far away you were to get that kind of wide shot?

Divers Den is excellent. Lynn and her husband run the place and know everything about the wrecks there. Stop in at the Visitor's Centre first to register for diving activities, and then check out the diving platform (red arrow). The bulletin board there shows you the wrecks. To get to the Alice...

What lens did you use for this pic, and what was the water temp?

You've also got Windmill Pt and Sherkston Quarry off Hwy 3, going towards Ft. Erie. Both have an entry fee ($10 I believe) and are close to you. You might want to call to inquire about the visiblity at each site before you go. The thing about diving up there in the Bruce Pennisula, especially...

Good post. Sounds like they want to compete with Poseidon (good regs BTW) for who can get the lesser market share.
