    Ontario Insurance Question

    On the dive boat on the weekend some divers mentioned that they could not get life insurance because they were divers. Another said that he pays an additions $2.50/$1000 coverage because he is a diver. I personally don't have life insurance other than mortgage insurance, but was wondering if...

    Unfriendliness at Rockport

    Well you have until July 1st when the new Marine Security Regulations come into force along the Seaway. Enjoy the shore diving in Rockport while we still can. I have always patronized the restaurant when diving there and I am empathetic to the owners as I have seen other divers walk into the...

    Tough Year for Some

    Did you ever stop to think that he might be just being troll like to spark a conversation of on-line purchases versus customer service in a store. If any shop were to close in the area it is unlikely that it would be CCD.

    O2 Tank in Ottawa

    Vital air will sell you the stuff if you are a certified blender as will praxair, BOC and all the other guys. The only problem people will have filling Jumbo D's from the DAN kits are that they have green tops. In Canada and all the rest of the world (excluding our neighbours to the south)...

    Dive Flags and Boat Diving

    In the legislation there is a difference between a mooring and anchoring. An unattended vessel in US waters is allowed to be salvaged. From a safety perspective it makes sense to have someone on the boat while your in the water that can operate the boat and knows how to use a radio. Maybe...

    Diver Dies in Long Sault

    My sources are excellent. I suggest you check yours. The instructor (initials PL) now a PADI Course Director was instructing the course for KDS, off of KDS's boat. A boat that had no VHF Maritime radio, no oxygen, etc etc.

    Diver Dies in Long Sault

    Ya its simple the root cause is a dive shop putting more focus on money than safety. Its funny that the newspapers listed the charter boat but not the store. The other stores should not be tarnished by the actions of one. You blame the first instructor who certified the student to 60 feet...
