Wow - An Ontario Section!!

Scuba Duffer · Jan 24, 2003

Found this board by chance - and I'll be - it has an Ontario section.

My Wife and I got our cert last year and we have taken to this like...well you know. Been cert'd 7 months and already dived:

Turks and Caicos
Cozumel
Aruba

Coming Up

Florida Keys - March
B.V.I. - April

We have our own boat that we keep on Simcoe. Each year we take it down the Severn into Georgian bay for a few weeks - always up the East side towards Killarney. We just aquired our own gear this week and are looking forward to getting into our "own" water this summer. So tell me, whats out there - in Simcoe or Georgian Bay. No experience with either - we cert'd in Turks.

Tobermory has some of the best collection of recreational level wrecks found in fresh water in the world. However, some of your brethren would make that claim for the St Lawrence River. Still, I don't think you'll go wrong with Tobermory.

Just don't forget to buy your pass for a nominal fee in Downtown Tobermory by the waterfront. It's a "must have" for diving in Fathom Five Marine Park. I don't think I'd bother going right now though... ya might wanna wait until at least Spring. The water's not real friendly right now!

Good Luck!

Welcome to the board from another canuck. Can't help you out much for the Simcoe area as I'm primarily a Lake Superior diver - however - curious as to what you dove in Aruba. The wife and I were there for our honeymoon a few years ago, and was our first saltwater experience.......

I had made a reference to Simcoe in this post earlier, but it looked like you meant Lake Simcoe, not town of Simcoe... so my Lake Erie info doesn't help ya!

Just a one day stop in Aruba as part of a cruise. We dove with Red Sail Sports aboard the "Pasa Bon". @ dive sites - both wrecks - The Antilla and The Pedernalis.

Oh and by the way - sorry about the screen name. I selected it before Ifound this section and didn't realize there was already a "canuck diver" - had I knownthat - I would have come up withsomething else. From what I can see, I can't change it now that I have joined.

So - sorry canuck diver - didn't mean to copy it!

I believe the user names CAN be changed. Try posting a question in the Site Support forum regarding it.

Welcome to one of the most informative spots I've ever found on the web.

How big a boat? There are some wrecks in the Hope/Christian/Beckwith Islands. You have to pass em if you've come through the Trent and heading North.
I'd recommend picking up Chris Kohl's latest book on wrecks in the Great Lakes. I got it for Christmas 2001 and have found it a useful resource. We sail out of Meaford, if you're ever heading that way (or to Christian as we get over there a few times each summer) let me know (PM) and perhaps we'll connect.
