Stopped down at the LDS on Thursday and signed up for three different dives that they are planning for June, July and August.
June is Tobermory for two days
July is Alpena for two days
August is Kingston for three days
Can't wait to do some freshwater diving, now that my new drysuit is on the way!
Does this make me an 'associate member' of the Ontario group, as I live across the border?
Look forward to learning more about the diving in Kingston, as I have a feel for Tobermory (was there last year for a few days (but not diving) and know that whitefish sandwiches at the little place on the pier are some of the very best I've ever had!

I think anyone who appreciates the diving here can be considered an associate member of the OFWF. You're going to some great locations for wreck diving!

Toby is the place !!! It is hard to believe going to Toby without diving ... For me now, Toby is associated with wrecks in coooooold water !
You'll enjoy it !

I wasn't really BACK into diving just then. I had made a couple dives on St. Croix early that year after a refresher, but hadn't made the decision to start buying the gear yet. We did spend the morning down near the pier, and I watched several dive boats head out into the fog with several people huddled on deck, looking cold and miserable. I have to assume they looked colder and more miserable when they came back in. It was early June, and the water was kind of ICY.
Now I've made the decision to go and dow the same thing, about two years later, as I want to experience the world class wreck diving that is available in Tobo...

Your coming all that way and not going to do any wrecks in the Brockville - St. Lawrence region? Tis a shame since we tend to have some pretty darn good wrecks here also.

Let's recall that Ontario doesn't have a corner on the wreck market... I can drive to Alpena or the Mackinac Straits in less than 3 hours, and dive wrecks at either of them too...
