    Have you contacted the local dive club (http://www.durhamdivers.com) or the LDS (http://www.divesource.com) I am sure they could help you find some divers in the area that would like to go out.

    I'd love to get out diving - my only problem is that I don't have my own transportation right now.

    I end up in Kingston pretty much every weekend. This coming weekend I'm "booked", but if you'd like to get out mid-week give me a shout! (I'm in North York)

    I will definitly keep that in mind. The crew that I dive with all own their own zodiacs so we pretty much get out whenever we want. Ours is a 16.5 bombard with a hard hull and a 4 stroke 50 on it, does about 55kmh empty and 45 full (meaning 3 full sets of tech gear, doubles stages and cameras). We can get to the sheboygan on a good day in about 25 minutes from either kingston or picton.

    Right now we spend a good chunk of our time in the picton area.

    I've never dived Picton yet - I hear there's good stuff out there.
