Am I hearing correctly that Upper Canada scuba is moving from its current location on wicksteed ave Toronto, to Eglinton and Warden to open up a new shop with a Hydro facility and rock climbing wall to boot?.

Asking a question about a post that you started, in which you seemed to indicate that he ( Mike ) was up to something ie: moving the store.

Very interesting?

I don't see a problem with that, I know Mike very well and had no idea the store was moving or that they were adding a hydro station and rock climbing wall.
We don't all make our business plans public knowledge untill it happens!

I just cant see big Mikey climbing the rocks

Scuba is a seasonal business in Cda

Diving is seasonal but climbing isn't...

Maybe he is just looking into making it a full time business, I don't think that there is a wall up in that area so may not be a bad move.

As well, after the initial invesment into the wall there isn't much that has to be done, just replacing the holds as they were and the routes to keep ppl coming back.

Any idea when this will happen? Would be interesting to go climbing and check out dive gear at the same time...may get expensive tho...

Hello

Rock climbing is fine for those who like rock climbing, I do beleave the rock climbing part of the business is not Mikes but another partners venture. Mike will run his technical teaching and Hydro sation out of the same new location sharing the rent. I hope they ballance out.

Hi HIDBOY I spoke with Mike Robertson out of Upper Canada Scuba and he advised me that he is not moving his shop out of its current location. The rock climbing facility is a different owner.

Thats all Ottawa needs ....another dive shop! I wish him well. If he provides the service then he will get the clients.

Having an IANTD facility teaching trimix in Ottawa would be great but I dont see it happening.

With everything he can teach I'm sure it would quickly become a popular shop, but if he is teaching through another store in the area would this be a joint venture?

There just two freinds getting togethor to explore an new avenue. There is nothing for youth in east end of Toronto so hopefully it will do good.
