Southern ON, NEW Diver

[Buffalo Dave]

I'm told Windmill Quarry near by usually has decent vis this time of the year, no idea what's there to see.

We certified in Windmill and have dived there since. It's OK. A quick easy refresher. It's about 30' (I think) with some intentionally-sunk items like a small rowboat, a toilet, etc.

I'm asking about temps at Sherkston because we are tropical divers at heart and only have 3mm suits - need about 70F or higher for comfort. In another month we'll be OK in the Niagara River and Lake Erie (depending on depth), but always looking for nearby sites.

Windmill is warm now & the vis is good. Sherkston on the otherhand is down to about 3 feet of vis.The Niagara river is about 64 deg Fas is Chippawa Creek, both great drifts.Little busy on the weekends, but we can always arrange to escort a crew during the week any evening. Just like to meet new divers and help promote this area.We can also have charters arranged to most Ontario destinations.Just let us know. We aren't in the pocket of any dive shop, we just like to enjoy the wonders.

Terry.

Who's not a new diver??...lol...I'm stil learning, therefore I'm a newbie....I'm at a whole 31 dives...(impressive eh...hahaha??)

I'm looking forward to this holidya, I'm heading up Kingston way...don't have a clue as to what I'm doing, but prolly a dive or two in Brockville, and a night dive..somewhere, and also back to Lake Simcoe on Sat...or something...not all worked out yet.

But it's all good...Tobby's too cold for me..I'm a weenie

I hope that doesn't mean you expect to know it all and stop learning. I'm approaching the 3 year mark, passed the 100 dive mark and still a lot more to learn. I've learned just enough to know how much more there is to learn.

But maybe it's time for a new thread, although this one's only a little over 50 posts.

Thanks Knives
and no...The day your stop learning is the day you die Groundhog246

This w/e is going to be a bit confusing but fun...a who mishmash of folks coming from all areas...a lot of diving and driving here and there....but hey, it's all good

For the folks I don't see, have a great Canada Day Celebration!

Thanks knives! I hope you'll be able to join us at least for one dive. So far it looks like head downriver Thursday, night dive possibly Thursday evening and more than likely Kingston area, then perhaps a dive or two morning Friday then Lake Simcoe Saturday, and from Saturday afternoon onwards even I'm not sure what'll be going on. Quite possibly a return to Kingston and perhaps even hop on a boat for Sunday morning. Then unfortunately I need to be returning to Toronto and The Daily Grind for monday.

It will be a busy weekend... but I've done such a diving schedule before, so I know it can be done.......... and will be FUN!!!
