Hey, so considering I've spent 95% of my life in Ontario, I figure I should probably do some diving here at some point. Looking around it sounds like Tobermory has some great diving and a couple good dive operations (who seem almost identical in terms of sites, pricing, etc.).
I guess I have a few questions:
a.) How difficult are the various dives in general?
b.) I assume that other than the technical dives, the divers on the boats aren't expecting to do penetration dives or deco dives? If they are, is there anyway to know they'll find you a buddy who isn't expecting to do the more technical types of dives? I ask this because I don't have overhead or wreck diving experience beyond a couple tiny wrecks I observed from the outside.
c.) One site that looks kind of cool is "the caves". But I'm a bit confused about what these actually are. Are they actual overhead caverns by diving standards, or are they some sort of cavern where it is still 'open water' but when you surface you're in a cave? I'm a bit confused because the DiversDen site lists it as a novice dive and also says people can swim/snorkel the site.
Thanks!
