This thread is a place where NDI members and other Ontario divers can post information about local events that are open to all and of interest to Ontario divers.

Examples include:

- Shore Cleanups & Enviro dives.
- Scuba Swap events
- Symposiums
- Dive club Meetings and social events.

It is not intended for upcoming dive charters, classified ads, store promo's, recall notices, dive buddy wanted etc...

It is just for news.

From their home page:

We are lucky in Ontario to have one of the few trained NAS Instructors outside of the UK, it's an opportunity that shouldn't be missed if you like wrecks.

You mentioned charters and money in the Durham divers club ad. You said that wasn't what the forum was for. I just wondered. I thought charters were diving news.
