Hello to you all
I am planning a road trip / diving trip this summer (whenever it'll be possible in the pandemic context) and Tobermory is at the top of my list. I’ll be travelling alone and my schedule is totally open. I have two questions :
- Organised group seems to be the norm (from what I can hear) and rarely hear about someone going there alone. How easy would it be for me if I am on my own (to join a group) ?
- I would be nice to hit two birds with one stone and continue my training while I’m there. I was thinking about a course to improve my skills and technique, the wreck training course or maybe ITT. I don’t know much about to proceed, though.
Any tips or advice are welcome !
Thanks in advance.

The boats are going into the water on the 25th...A lot of the Tobermory dive season is COVID-19 pending...as Fathom Five Marine Park remains closed...
Contact Kelly at Divers Den in Tobermory...she can give you a complete course listing...their full time/staff instructor David Mauros is top notch...
Divers Den has a full gas filling service...air...NITROX...Tri-Mix...rebreather friendly...
Good local accommodation available...book ahead...walk-on space available for charters with a little prior planning...they'll double you up with another single...
Local grocery store in town center...I normally pack enough food...breakfasts/sandwiches/snacks for the duration of my stay...the best restaurant in town is the Crows Nest...overlooking Little Tub Harbor in town center...there are no ''chain'' restaurants...all local operators...fresh caught white-fish/chips is a local favorite...
Kelly keeps lots of rental gear if you want to travel light...Advanced/tec dives in the morning...OW sites in the afternoon...
Plan ahead so you're not disappointed...all Divers Den waiver documents are on their web site...Fathom Five Park Permits can also be purchased at Divers Den...
Again...contact Kelly Marcotte...she can give you all the information you need...
The water's cold...bring your dry-suit...or a good fitting 7 mm that doesn't flush any water...
