Hello!. I live in Toronto and I
have been scuba diving now for approximately five years. I was PADI certified through a dive store
called The
Wet Shop ,in Richmond Hill. I did my
classroom and pool components on a Saturday and Sunday, and my
open water certification was completed up at Tobermory, Ontario.
I must admit that I have not really taken to cold water Ontario
diving. Its not that I didn't enjoy my time at Toby, but I find
it difficult to drive four hours north of Toronto in order to get
a weekend of diving in. To be completely truthful, however, I
must admit that I enjoy warm water diving a little more. After
obtaining my certification, I managed to either center my
vacations around diving or, at the very least, squeeze a few
dives into my vacations. Below are some of the spots I have been
to. I am not going to provide a full description and review, but
I am trying to provide links to any websites these places may
have. Enjoy!
My first open water dives were at Tobermory-and that is usually the case with many divers in Ontario who are being newly certified. Tobermory is about a 3 1/2 hour drive north west of Toronto. It is a protected marine park and a recent issue of Scuba Diver (I believe) rated the park the number one fresh water dive in North America. My experience at Toby is limited, and I haven't gone back since my initial open water dives. I was impressed, however, by the quantity and quality of wrecks in the park and the care taken to protect those wrecks. If you don't mind cold (colder?) water diving, Toby might be a treat. It doesn't have the visibility of southern dive destinations, but it does have plenty to offer. Visit the above link and check it out.
