Does anyone know if it would be possible to get to the niagara, or any wreck in toby by snowmobile. would it be possible to ice dive the wrecks or is the ice to thick.
This... and the owner/editor of the local paper lives right across the road from the platform.Either that or they needed a lot of filler since it was February in Tobermory and not much else happens then...
Also remember that you are in a overhead environment. Light can get limited due to ice/ snow cover, ice can shift, and your line to the hole can be lost.
Had a little bit of a scare last week when ice diving. We laid a reel from our hole to the main lines that run out to different boats and objects at our local diving spot. When we turned to go back to our reel it was gone. We had to navigate by compass (which worked perfectly with a second reel). Turns out an ice fisherman hooked our line and pulled it up. Total PITA when something goes wrong under the ice.
