I've never done Humber Bay. Anything at all worth seeing? Tomorrow is out for me at my regs, tanks and BC are all at the LDS. Supposed to be ready by next Friday, plan to test em in a pool Sunday to make sure all is well before driving to more distant dive sites.
I should be ready to hit OW in April.

Ah, but I'd be wet. Somehow a pool, though warmer this early in the year, lacks a certain something. ROOM to move. In the linked photos, the viz looked good. Looks like it'd be a good cold water shakedown dive. Have you got or do you know where I'd find details on how to find it, where to park ,where to enter?

The entrance is off Lakeshore Blvd, just go in through Humber Bay park west entrance (not the east entrance, as there is Humber Bay park east). I've been screwed up finding the place because of that before. From Kitchener, go 401 East to 427 South. Then Gardiner Expressway East to Islington Ave South. This takes you to Lakeshore Blvd. Go east for about a mile or so and the entrance is on the right hand side.

Yep. Picked up a decent used one. I would have preferred to rent one a few times and decide if I like diving dry. After diving it in a pool, I'm undecided. I like the idea of being warmer, but getting wet is part of diving in my mind. Time will tell. I have an aquaintance who had a drysuit and sold it again, as he preferred diving wet.

Anyone I have ever met who switched to diving dry is not a fan of going back to wet. Although I've heard of people who have I've yet to meet one.

Hey Eric, how open is Humber? I drove by the other day on the Gardiner and it looks like there isn't any ice nearby.
