| Scuba
Diving Discussion Boards Scubaboard - from rec to tec with
local dive groups as well as lots of international participants. Probably the largest
member list of them all

my favorite board. Mostly technical diving and member list of full of experienced members.

Ontario
Diving - started by the Northern Tech Diver folks and couple of local clubs in 2005.
Affiliated with PReserve Our Wrecks and couple of SOS chapters. No aliases board - i.e.
you have to register with your full name. Probably the best resource for Ontatio diving
info. |
Tried,
tested and recommended dive stores and charters. Toronto and Picton-Brockville corridor
(Eastern Ontario) Aquasub - my Local Dive Store. One of the few
shops in Toronto with trimix availability & high pressure booster. They teach
everything from beginner to full trimix.
Northern
Tech Diver - charters in the Kingston area. Also a place to get your GUE class since
Dan McKay is the only GUE instructor in Canada. My home away from home place
Ducks
Dive - the only choice for Picton area. Sue and George are great!
1000 Islands
Pleasure Diving - picks you up at Caigers, near Rockport. My charter of choice for
diving Jodrey. Wayne Green is a great captain, the boats are fast and well built for tech
gear and cookies and hot soups late/early in the season are to die for! |
