    Shops near Perth, ON

    As far as I am aware, from there you are either going to Ottawa, Kingston or Mallorytown/Brockville. If you find something closer please post it as my parents live near Westport and I would really appreciate knowing.

    PADI OW certified...now what?

    There is lots of opportunity to dive withing a couple hours drive of you and there are lots of divers to hook up with. There is a quarry on the Quebec side that lots of people go to for practice year round and this time of the year a lot of diving is going on in the St.Lawrence river. You may...

    Diver dead after accident in Lake Ontario near Oakville

    Actually my family are allophones, ie they were immigrants to Quebec who spoke neither french nor english. They have all since left, either back to the country of origin or to other parts of Canada in part due to the intolerance inside Quebec for different cultures. I see however you have no...

    Diver dead after accident in Lake Ontario near Oakville

    I would say it is the exception to the rule. France has something similar in place and if I had to take my guesses Quebec has it because of that, once again showing english Canada that they are a distinct and separate society. I don't subscribe to that paranoia.

    Diver dead after accident in Lake Ontario near Oakville

    Meh, that seems awfully sensationalist to me. Lots of people have died diving all over the place. Are there places that have banned diving? Why is this different? Far fewer people die diving than many other activities. Heck, in most places you don't need any sort of license/ certification to...

    Oakville Wreck Dive Report

    Why? This thread is great entertainment. My wife watches soap operas...I have diving boards. Oh, the drama! I just wish some people would get better script writers.

    Where to dive in Southern Ontario?

    Brockville/Rockport area has some nice dives, the Jodrey being the premier site. Kingston/Picton also has some good dives available with lots of wooden wrecks mostly above 150' but a couple just below.

    Ten Foot/3 Metre Stops in Heavy Swells?

    How did current come into this conversation? The dive in question is in Lake Ontario. As such the period of the waves is shorter than what you would expect in the ocean. This means your bottom timer will cycle through the change of pressure above you more frequently. You should plan to stay a...

    How 'bout them Leafs eh?

    Hello. I use Aquasub for gas fills all the time, they are my LDS. They put on some good trips in the summer to both Tobermory and the St.Lawrence areas. Definitely worth hooking up with them to get introduced to these areas. They also organise some very tempting trips all over the globe...

    Happy Canada Day

    I had a great day too! Thanks for the dives Knives :-). I know its not great from a business perspective but I was kinda glad that it was just a small group of us instead of the madness that was the three days prior. Does that make me a bad person?

    Diving nitrox

    Yeah that sounds about right. Of course with where they are promising gas will go this summer there is no telling what we will be paying this year. I would pay a premium to not get sea sick...but being retired Navy I also know how to control it on the smaller boats. It generally works right...
