Please Puffer and Mark L don't beat me up over this,
I believe the OUC conducts one in Toronto every spring.

I had a flyer for it... Seem to recall it was in March? shortly after the Dive for a Cure. If I find the flyer I'll pass on more details.
Supposedly a big todo with new and used gear of every description available.

Almost Tom. It's the OUE (who are members of the OUC). It happens at the Olympium in Etobicoke. Next years is on April 24. More info on the OUE website http://members.rogers.com/aldv/website/swap.html
There's new gear, used gear. Some from shops (I picked up a new onepice wetsuit and sleeveless jacket for my wife last spring. It was a 2002 model used for fitting, still had the tags and never wet for less than $200) and some from divers. Some real junk too, so you gotta know what you're buying, could be "dangerous" place for newbies.

The scuba swap is run every year in around April. It is held at the Etobicoke Olympium and is about $5.00 to get in.
Key in "Scuba swap Etobicoke" into Yahoo.ca and you will see the page that will give all the information that you will need. Usually there is a line up and the early bird gets the worm. The show usually runs from about 8:00 until about 3:00 with all the deal of stuff left over going around 12:00 noon.
If there are any other questions drop me a line.
