Just so everyone knows, and this is the only time I'll mention it unless asked. I went into the recording studio today :dazzler1: and have put together a rough Demo of 4 origional compositions (all accapella) and 2 other (not accapella) songs I have permission to record. I will have a FEW CDs (making 25 copies in all) available for anyone interested. One of the Songs is about the Sinking of the A.E. Vickery near Brockville, and another of my songs is about the history beneath the waves and a synopsis of the sinking of the Marsh in Kingston. All of these songs are in the nautical theme and would be termed "folk/celtic" style of music. Send me a pm if you're interested or approach me at the Gathering. Looking forward to see you all!

So, have we decided what wrecks were diving? If so, what conditions can we expect? Temp at depth? Vis? Current?

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

Plus, some people mentioned shore dives. Shall I bring a 3mm for that or do they go deep too?

 

[Groundhog246]

Any shore dives we do will be shallow. Our 12 year old (soon to be 13) has just certified and is limited to 40 feet.
Info on temps would be most welcome. I don't think the wrecks have been decided yet. I'd really like either the Marsh or the Comet as one dive. Wouldn't object to the Wolfe Islander as a second, but as the only one I've ever done in Kingston is the Douglas, I'm very open to what others want to see, as it'll be new to me anyway.

Hi all, have not been on the board much this summer, been too busy working but will stop by Saturday and say hi.

Our local club from Sarnia has the Great White chartered for the weekend so I will be in town.

Diving Gal your list of wrecks looks an awful lot like mine. Guess you will be tying up behind us

As of right now we have a couple of spots open but sounds like everyone here has a ride.
