Caves in Ontario

[octgal]

I thought I'd throw this out there. I have heard so many rumours about caves in Ontario and in Toby. Does anyone actually have any knowledge about any diveable caves?????

 

[Stoo]

There are at least two diveable caves around Toby that I know of (and I don't mean the Grotto at Cyprus Lake). One is accessed from the shore. The other opens into a farmer's field. Both are squishy little cracks.

Diveable at what certification level Wendy?

The caves in Ontario are nothing like Florida or Mexico. These are well beyond full cave cert. 10' of vis is a good day, sharp rocks all around, and most are sidemount entrances and the flow is quite high in many, quite often with siphons. Most are also on private property so access is a problem.

The cave community in Canada is very tight lipped about thier locations and for a good reason.
