The waters in Geogian Bay are very clear and blue, and cold. 7mm or drysuit diving. Tobermory is on the tip of the Bruce Penninsula, and there are numerous accommodations there. It's a speck of a town centered around the Little Tub Harbour. Fathom Five National Marine Park includes numereous real wrecks and some shore dives, and an interpretive center just south of town. You need to get a dive tag here (good for one year, $20) or wristband (good for one day or one weekend) to dive in the park. Many local dive shops come up to Toby to do open water and AOW dives. Diver's Den website shows you the wreck sites in the park, plus the Niagara II, sunk on purpose for divers outside the park www.diversden.ca. DD has several boats: my favourite is the Deep Obsession, designed for divers. The ladder is a central stalk (Xmas tree style) so you can just walk up it with your fins on. Captain Dave is worth his weight in gold. You can pick shallow wrecks or deeper ones depending on your skill level. I'm still working my way through all of them, and I live in Ontario. |
