    We were just on the Jodrey on May 20, Wayne took us out, it was 9:00 am and cloudy so the darker than hubs of hell reference stands.

    Deep Locations??

    It's actually probably three hours from Toronto, beacuse its four hours from St. Catherines but Rockport's nice for diving. You can do a shore dive to 220'+ or any depth in between. You can also stop in and see Thousand Island Pleasure Divers for a charter, like out to the Roy A. Jodrey, after a...

    Ontario Dive Locations - Lake Ontario

    Unless somebody moved it the last time I checked Port Colbourne was still south of us on Lake Erie........... and the C. B. Benson is a nice wreck although you would be hard pressed to break more than 85' without a shovel:confused:

    rescue

    Took the Rescue course in spring of last year, but that's as close as I intend on getting to the professional side. I found the course very helpful when it comes to reducing stress load and can now identify stress loading on new divers pre-dive........when it makes a difference. As for the...

New wrecks are found every year, before rail moved in the lakes were the highways of trade and commerce and the many storms took their tolls on the strong and weak vessels alike. The nice cold...

    Air fill cost/price

    Up here we have two seasons, Winter and construction. During construction air fills at the LDS are $ 5.00 CDN or about $3.00 US per cylinder. This means that I have my twin PST 104's filled for the equivalent of $ 6.00 US. During winter, because divers really drop off up here they drop it to $...

    OMS vs Pst?

    I realize I am a little late on this discussion, but being new to the post I thought I would give my two cents worth anyway......... Just in case anyone cares "Standard Air" by defintion is DRY air that weighs 0.075 lbs cu/ft @ 70 deg F and 29.92 inches of mercury (or 0' asl or 14.7 psi):D
