Any problems going back and forth with dive gear and tanks? Do they give you a hard time about it and if so is there any way to minimize it?

Say Rooster,
There's some GREAT diving right there at Sarnia, from that park under the Blue Water Bridge. Went up there a couple times last year and am hoping to get back there this fall. Last dive I did there...we went up around the point to a park just out of the mouth of the river and surface swam quite a long ways out and then dropped down and let the current sweep us around and down the river across the barge under the bridge...ending up at the Monarch (think that's the name of the Tug), and then coming up on shore at the park there. Fantastic drift dive. GD
BTW the only trouble I ever had taking diving equipment across was at Prescott. There were four of us in a clubcab pickup truck and we'd been camping/diving for 3-4 days down near Massena and wanted to do the Connie and Rothesay without driving the boat clear up there. Well, we musta looked pretty rough because they tore that truck apart and opened everyone's dive bag. Just doing their job....but it makes you feel like a criminal. But that is the only time I've ever had my dive gear searched.

we plan on diving late into the year ( December) we often dive Sarnia because it only takes us 50 min drive if we go through Detroit and then Cross back over into Canada at Port Huron.
Its alot better then diving this end of lake Erie. The tug you mention is the Monarch and it was my first wreck dive and I remember being scared cuz that current is something else. I get more and more comfortable the more I dive there, but there are still wrecks there that I dont dive and may never, a couple of them I believe only a few divers have done.
