I had two incidents last week (it's Sunday morning of labour Day Weekend as I'm writing this): On Tuesday, I went on a charter dive on the St. Lawrence River in Brockville,Ontario. There was a strong current, but nothing insurmountable. The boat was tied off at a buoy, and there was a 2"...

I wet diving 2 days ago, and came out of the water with a sore jaw. It was most-likely because I bit down too hard on the mouthpiece. The other times this happened, it went away fairly quickly (1-2 hours). This time, it has lasted more than 48 hours, and is only slowly getting better. I am...

I will be camping at Charleston Lake Provincial park in June, and I am interested in finding any dive buddies that want to go diving on any days from June 6th to 9th inclusive. I don't know what places there are there that are good for diving, but I just want to get in the water. :) If you...

I have been looking at 3 different semi-dry wetsuits. The criteria I want is integrated hood, and warm enough to dive in 41 degree water or warmer. I have selected 3 models from a supplier, but I would like some help in comparing the three models. Please ignore the price differences - I'm...

Hello, I'm looking at purchasing a used drysuit, but I know very little about them. The reason I'm going used is that I'm not sure I'll like it a lot, so why drop over a grand, right? I found a Brooks drysuit (made in B.C., Canada), that has a "New Si Tech automatic exhaust valve installed on...

I just purchased (over the Internet), some equipment: BCD, Reg set, octo, tank and computer. I won't actually get to see the stuff until Monday, when my friend bring it to me. The computer is allegedly an Aqua Lung Matrix computer. But when I check online, the pictures or this computer don't...

Hello, my buddy and I will be diving in St. Thomas on October 12th, 2010. We're coming in for the day on the Oasis of the Seas. We are looking at a 3-tank dive with Aqua Action, with lunch at a beach called Secret Harbor, in Nazareth Bay. We're looking for other cruisers, hopefully on same...

Hello all! I live in Limoges, Ontario (about 20 min East of Ottawa, Ontario), and I just did my first two dives last night, after getting my open-water certification! It was a shallow dive (about 20 -24 feet deep), and it was a wreck (The Conestoga) in the St. Lawrence river. Really had a...
