Diving Newfoundland?

[Holst]

Hey Fire Diver & Diver Joe:

Sounds like you fell in love with NFL diving like I did. That is why I''ve started organizing summer trips there. I am using Rick Stanley as well. FYI - He will be at the
Outdoor Adventure Show in Toronto if you can make it and if you live close. While you are in NFL don't ignore the shore diving. Amazing sites!

If you know of anyone wanting to put a group together or just wanting to come themselves and join a group send them to my website. www.divesafaricanada.com

PS - Firediver - See you in NFL - I will be there the tail end of your trip!

Heehee... I know paul too met last January 2003 I dove New Years Day.. I was the only pne crazy enough to dive wet. I spent 4 months in St.John's doing my firefighter recruitment course.. met Rick , the crew and a number of local divers in january did three dives with them..
Unfortunaltey I live in NB and can't make the trip to Ontario.. though I would love to go.

The trip I am planning for july we are trying to get 14 divers from around here to go. We will be doing 3 charters with Rick and Debbie, and also going to hit a number of shore dives.. I am gitty about this trip already. Holst: Hope to see you there.. We may be doing a shore dive that thursday... then a pub crawl. I have to say the diving in NFLD has been some of the best I have ever done.. even though it was -4 on the surface

Oh BTW in the summer time it gets quite warm.. didn't mean to scare anyone about the -4 in January ...

 

[Holst]

Yes - The NFL guys are great. My husband and I certified Paul, Trina, and Cassidae as scuba instructors last June. Did some great diving with them. Michael we have known since he was living here in Ontario.

Looking forward to this summer in NFL.

You may also want to consider diving South Eastern Nfld, depending on what part of the Island you visit. Several wrecks near Burgeo. Water condtions a little different in that area due to gulf stream rather than Labrador current. For this area call Dean Bailey of Pro Sport Dive in Kippens. The bell Island wrecks are a must... I am planning a trip there for next summer also.
