It has just been announced that this documentary will be screened in Brockville. It is about the construction of the St Lawrence Seaway and was produced by divers! It combines underwater video footage, historic photos from before the flooding, and interviews with some interesting "old-timers"...

Yup! The rebreather tryout is an awesome deal. This is usually $100 and you only get to try it in a pool. At Scuba in the Park it is only $20 and you get to try it in the river.

I know it isn't too hard to climb into the boat ... but my buddy is interested in getting or building a ladder and I thought the gang here would have some good suggestions. As for the 1000 Islands .. it is located in the St. Lawrence River between Kingston and Brockville, Canada (sure ...

My buddy just bought a 24' Avon inflatable ... beautiful dive boat. Does anyone have any creative suggestions for adding a practical ladder to this boat? I am sure that one of the ingenious board members out there has just the solution ... let's hear yours. Thanks, Eric I've attached a pic...

The standard Sunlight dishwashing soap in the yellow bottle works just like sink the stink and is way cheaper. just a little in the bathtub or a plastic bin and hand agitate, rince well and you should be good to go for another 30 or 30 dives. Eric

Above & Below, Jimmi Livesay and UnderWhere? with Tom Scott are both excellent charters out of Brockville. by booking a couple of runs with them you can do some of the wrecks in the Brockville area with a shorter trip on the water. Links: http://www.abovenbelow.com/index.htm You can...

Unfortunately she is in Florida and I am in Canada. I am hoping someone on here has done this themselves and can give me a tip or two. Thanks for the suggestion. Eric

My son's wetsuit is really tight in the ankles and wrists, last year he used plastic bags to help slide it on and it works pretty well but is still a pain in the butt! Has anyone ever sewed zippers into a wetsuit? Mine has zippers at the ankles and thought it might not be too hard to add them...

A couple of Canucks considering driving down to Florida in March with our son's to do some diving. We are both certified and planning on getting our sons through the class and pool seesions and then doing their open water in Florida. We are looking for suggestions as to where to go. Looking...

I have done 90% of my diving in fresh water. I live in the 1000 Islands region in Canada where we have the best fresh water wreck diving in the world! (1000 Islands = 2000 shoals). VIS is anywhere from 30 to 100 feet with beautifully preserved wrecks. We also have current/drift diving and in...

I have some hearing loss in certain frequency ranges and never hear my computers alarm even when I'm not wearing a hood. Like everyone else said ... you should be monitoring it visually anyway. Eric

Go to this website and watch the video presentation. You will learn lots about equalizing and barotrauma: http://faculty.washington.edu/ekay/index.html The video is listed under "streaming video" Eric

Wow I've never been first before!! It's a break-even week for me still at 193# which is great news after the Halloween binge I had! Eric

I was at Lock 21 about 3 weeks ago. The Vis was OK and the current was rippin! We had a blast. The rope is not in from the shore and the jug was just below the surface. There was a couple of guys coming out as we went in so we watched where they came out. If you go in on the corner and...
