St. Lawrence + 7mm wetsuit = how long a season?

The 20 or so divers I interacted with today (all from the TO area), felt coming to Kingston for the day for a dive was well worth it. Cartwright Point, I thought that was in Kingston near the Princess Charolette is there another?

Yah it can be done but depends on what side of the city you are on. I am an hour just to Whitby so it is a little too much driving for one day I find.

Yes Cartwright Point in Kingston and the Princess Regent is nearby. Just happen to have a warm shower five minutes away and have never had a look at that wreck. I read it is a pile of lumber but just would like to see the remains of a ship that fought in the War of 1812. Is there really anything to see?

Just ribs, it's actually the Princess Charlotte a survey was conducted by J. Moore, POW and Parks Canada a couple of years ago and id the wrecks as such.

I am glad to hear the temps are still balmy enough down there for pleasant *recreational* wetsuit diving
See some of you this coming weekend. I'll be the one in the wetsuit (no drysuit makes all this discussion of Ar vs air vs self-generated methane a bit moot for me, I'm afraid), grinning like a banshee in what is sounding like mighty *warm* water. Hey Tom: what's good charter-wise over the Thanksgiving weekend? (The PTB have foolishly certified me for your "Nirtox" now, hee-hee!)

This women Lynne Cox swam recently in the Antarctica 1.2 miles in 25 minutes with only a bathing suit on which has confounded scientists. Body shape, percentage body fat, adaptation, and shear determination allowed her to complete this incredible feat.

Posting on topic? Well there's a novel idea

Supposed to be reasonably warm this week so bottom temps might not change that much. Should be good to dive wet for a little while longer.

Yeah, this is true, on Sat when we were at the river it was cold windy and raining. (artw do you want some cheese with that whine).
Probably still wont be a couple weeks anyway until I get my thermies and the drysuit repaired.
