Greetings from Toronto!

[zoocan]

I am a newly certified diver that has been wanting to get to get certified for many years and finally did it. I have been fortunate enough to travel quite a lot and have snorkelled in so many beautiful places. now it is time to enjoy everything from a better angle. Toronto may now be ideal place for diving considering the average water/air temperatures but it is just great to get out there and see what lies beneath.

I have so much to learn and find scubaboard a wealth of information.

Welcome dude, make your way over to the Ontario section for lots of local info. Not too much in the way of shore diving around here but there are plenty of wrecks in the various lakes. If you're feeling adventurous, Kingston and Rockport are great weekend destinations for some great dives. St.Lawrence has some really great shore dives as well.
Here is my channel which has lots of videos of local stuff to give you an idea of what's out there.

Hey, welcome... It never ever occurred to me to actually dive in the GTA, or anywhere in Canada for that matter. But maybe I'll check out the forums and keep up to date. Are Ontario waters worth exploring? Maybe I'll bump into you diving when I'm home for a summer holiday.

Welcome to Scubaboard.
The water was nice this past weekend in Georgian Bay. Good vis and as always this time of year cold.
Looking forward the the warm waters of the summer. Hope you enjoy the diving here I know I do.

+1 on St Lawrence shore dives. But to cover more ground (or water in this case), you really need to hook up with a reliable local operator such as Bottom Time Diving bottom time diving, Dive the St. Lawrence Iroquois, ON HOME

Correct me if I'm wrong but BTD runs out to the old power station building/swing bridge etc? The are also the folks to get a charter to the East Cliff Hall right?

check out Dan's Dive Shop who's close by, the owner Matt is a great diver and super cool guy, good gear prices too.

No affiliation with them, just know him through cave country and he's pretty close by to you

If you want a great place to practice your skills in an area that remains "ice-free" all year drop by Humber Bay in the west end of Toronto any weekend...there are usually quite a few of us down there. You will meet everyone from newly-minted students on single tank rental gear to hardcore rebreather divers and everyone in between. It is a very inclusive atmosphere

That's correct, AngloFish.
