Kingshorn from shore

[j-valve]

I've been to the Kinghorn before on a charter and I was either told or saw a sign that said no diving from the dock or to the wreck... somehting like that anyways. Is this to scare people off or am I getting this dock confused with another?

No Scuba diving from the boat ramp is what the sign says, but that is there mainly for the tour boat season, during the winter we use it.

A a good Scuttling job... Was wondering about that too...

Bring a snow shovel for the ramp......

Chain saw and shovel required gear now.

How do you stow that stuff DIR style?

 

[Axeman]

also if you are a DIR diver then you will need to trim off some weight for winter. cause 2 shovels and 2 chain saws is gonna be a little heavy...

 

[DeepScuba]

What's the proper MIX for the chainsaw?

And we could go on and on........

Heheh redundant chainsaws!!! Damn I missed than one

Dudes,

I believe you are all mistaken. I have never seen any of the local GUE divers with a chainsaw at Rockport. They are true minimalists.
They tend to enter the water at the 1000 Islands dock where there is usually a gaping hole around the moored cruise ship. I have always been amazed by the folks that show up with their chainsaws to cut their own personnal holes a few yards away. It keeps a smile on my dial.
=-)

A word of caution: Please remeber the cave rules apply for this dive. You must run a continuous line. Or do this dive with a group of divers with the appropriate equipment and who have their ice diving speciality and use a harness.

All the best

Just incase anyone needs to know, the Kinghorn is still in its proper spot.
