Get in touch with Dan's Dive Shop in St Catherines - they have an active group of divers and you're pretty close to them. They might be able to set you up with a charter or some dive buddies.
Greetings,
Not a lot of diving in Toronto. There is some stuff at Humber Bay. I'd typically go 2 to 4 hours (east, west or north) to find good diving.
My dive club is in the east end of Toronto (www.suci.ca). If you go to the website, they have a calendar of events. I've been as far east as Morrisburg, ON. Seaway Valley Divers had a pig roast a few weeks ago. So we joined them. There is a lot around Belleville or Kingston. I think the only charters that go to the wrecks near Belleville however are out of Kingston.
Lot of diving around Brockville, Rockport, etc. We also did a drift dive in the St. Clair River. That was Sarnia, ON (3 hours west of Toronto). This weekend we are diving the Niagara River. Next weekend we are going 3 hours north to Parry Sound. Last weekend we had someone from OUE join us for the weekend. So I don't think trips are limited to members of the club, provided there is room.

Thanks for the info. Umhlangan, I talked to Dan's dive shop. They had a charter, but my Tobermory trip conflicted with their trip . Nothing else going on , according to them . Darrell, I've decided to go to the Kingston area. Couldn't organize anything anywhere else that had any chance of happening. I'll check out the dive club website, are you anywhere near Kingston / interested diving that week ?
I live in the east end of Toronto (Kennedy and 401 area) but I'm happy to drive to Kingston or even Brockville. This weekend I'm going to Parry Sound and the next weekend I'm going to Port Credit Boat Show. I don't have anything planned for the first three weekends in September (2-3, 9-10, 16-17).
I could try Helen at Abucs. They have a Kingston location or are you okay with going to Brockville? Which weekend do you want to go diving?
I won't mind trying the Muscallonge, out near Brockville. I was there two weeks ago; we got hit by a squall and had to cancel the dive. I haven't been on anything in the Kingston area for 4 years. So that would be nice to dive again.

Darrell, this is the issue. My Tobermory trip ends Sept 2, drive to kingston on the 3rd., looking to dive from the 4th to 8th. The 4th's a Monday . Looks like you dive weekends as I do ( at home ). Kingston to Brockville is an hour north, but I assume you'd be working during the week anyway.
