SUMMARY:Tobermory Dive Weekend
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe are running a Tobermory Dive Weekend to combine a Tobermory shore dive with a boat charter.  To help the transits for those coming from GTA better\, we take the morning to drive up to Tobermory and then meet on the Saturday afternoon to do our shore dive at Lighthouse Point.  Then we’ll do the advance deep dives on the boat charter the next morning on Sunday. \nTo go on this dive weekend with us\, note that the advance boat charter requires all divers to have at least TEN cold water (15 degrees C or under) deep dives (at least 60 feet depth and over) during the last 18 months.  An Advanced Open Water certification alone is not enough for this boat charter.  If you are short on these ten logged dives\, try to come out to our local dives throughout June and July as we can usually get at least 60 feet at both Cedar Hill Park and Shanty Bay.  So maybe by the August weekend you will have the ten deep dives required. \nWe will be organizing our own shore dive for Lighthouse Point for Saturday afternoon meeting there for 2 pm.  The next morning boat charter leaves at 8 am with the dive shop Blue Heron Adventures recommending we get there between 7 am and 8 am.  Divers can stay overnight on Saturday either in Tobermory or in the region like at Owen Sound.  Some of us might be staying in the Collingwood area and driving in extremely early. \nTo get on the boat charter\, book directly with Blue Heron Adventures (who took over Divers Den).  Book for the morning advance dives boat charter for Sunday August 3\, 2025.  There are only 12 spots available and it is a long weekend during peak season so book your spot now. \nDirections To Tobermory Shore Dive \n\nfollow Big Tub Way in Tobermory all the way to the end where Lighthouse Point is for our first dive\, a deep rock formation wall to 75 feet.\n\nHere’s a video of the shore dive at Lighthouse Point (which in my opinion is a better dive than the Tugs) \n \n  \nVERY IMPORTANT= all our group divers MUST complete a liability waiver form in advance which covers you for the entire 2025 dive season for diving with our group (download at link\, sign and send back to us or bring it to your first dive).  Divers who do not sign this liability waiver form will not be diving with our group this season. \nAlso\, don’t be late as we will not be waiting for any latecomers after 15 minutes past the posted start time.  We will start the dive without you.  Best to get there early to get a parking spot. \nIf you are planning to come to this dive event\, please indicate so in the comments section below and vote for your first choice on dive location for our Saturday morning. \n

SUMMARY:Scuba Dive At Shanty Bay
DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe will dive Shanty Bay which is considered to be the best dive site in the Lake Simcoe area with different features including wrecks in the water for divers to see.  As shown in the photo\, this shore dive is easily accessible for the beach and pier.  The dive site is a slow gradual slope with varying depths to beyond 100 feet for those who want to venture deeper but most attractions are much shallower. \nHere is a video of a dive at Shanty Bay to get an idea of what it’s like there. \n \nHere are directions to the Shanty Bay dive site; \n\ntake highway 400 to highway 11 north\nexit at Line 2 south\ncontinue all the way to the end where the Shanty Bay wharf is\nturn left on Bay St as we don’t want the smaller pier right at the end of Line 2\nlook for the bigger wharf just after you make that left turn on Bay st – will have some postal boxes there too.\n\nImportant Note On Parking \nThe township of Oro-Medonte which controls Shanty Bay has made it difficult for non-residents to park there.  There are parking spots at Shanty Bay but permits are required – non-residents of Oro-Medonte must pay for a permit costing about $100 for a six month period and the parking lot is enforced regularly with parking tickets of $60 issued for those parked there without a permit.  So we suggest just stopping at Shanty Bay upon arrive to drop off all your dive gear plus tanks and then drive back to a side street called Melissa Crescent about half kilometre away back on Line 2.  You can also try parking at the baseball diamond on Ridge Rd just east of Line 2.  The side streets close to the wharf are all marked no parking.  This of course is a big inconvenience but as a dive group we’ll try diving Shanty Bay at least once to try it out even if we have to walk a bit to our cars.  Depending on group feedback\, we may or may not return for subsequent dives. \nSince this is an open water single tank dive\, this event is for certified scuba divers only. Those who are not certified yet should do Discover Scuba or take the full certification course.\n\nFor post diving group social\, there is Tim Horton’s\, McDonald’s and other eateries right off the 400 at the Cundles exit which is the first main exit as you approach Barrie. It’s an easy entry back onto 400 on your way back home.\n\n\nVERY IMPORTANT = all our group divers MUST complete a liability waiver form in advance which covers you for the entire dive season (download at link\, sign and send back to us or bring it to your first dive).  Divers who do not sign this liability waiver form will not be diving with our group this season.  \n\nAlso\, don’t be late as we will not be waiting for any latecomers after 15 minutes past the posted start time.  We will start the dive without you.  Best to get there early to get a parking spot.\n\nIf you are planning to come to this dive event\, please indicate so in the comments section below

SUMMARY:Dive Sipidan Island From Seaventures Dive Rig
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nSipidan Island in the Borneo region of Malaysia much like Raja Ampat in Indonesia\, is one of the most pristine dive locations in the world.  The Sipidan waters are so protected that the Malaysian government requires special permits granted to only 200 or so divers per day there.  So expect marine life in terms of both diversity and sheer numbers to be much higher here than anywhere in the Caribbean. \nFor this dive trip\, we are staying at Seaventures which is the only former oil rig turned into a dive base in the world.  This in itself makes this trip very unique in addition to being able to dive Sipidan and surrounding areas.  In addition to boat dive trips daily\, there is a house reef right underneath the dive rig which can be dived any afternoon as part of dive packages at Seaventures. \nAs expected for such an amazing dive location\, the travel will not be straight forward compared to the typical Toronto to Caribbean destination trip.  One would have make a long journey to Asia landing in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia with connections along the way.  Then from Kuala Lumpur\, a regional flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau in the Borneo Sabay region of Malaysia.  From Tawau\, there will still be a land transit as well as a boat transfer to Seaventures all provided by their staff as part of dive packages.  So it’s a long journey to the dive rig. \nI will be doing a five night dive package at Seaventures arriving June 4 and departing June 9\, 2025.  Anyone interested in coming on this big dive trip can contact me.  I am also staying in southeast Asia for most of June and will not return back to Canada until June 29. \nFor more information along with photos of Seaventures and Sipidan\, see their website (even if you are not going on this trip but just curious) \n

SUMMARY:Scuba Dive At Humber Bay - CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nToday we’ll do an easy open water dive at a very convenient spot right in GTA where many dive schools use — Humber Bay West.  Since it’s a shore dive\, there’s no boat nor entry fees and the only costs will be any scuba gear rentals you need as well as your transportation to get there. \nThere are rope lines installed at the bottom to take us to a few things like a small sunken boat and a concrete swim through pipe among other items down there. Much of the dive is at around 20 feet deep until an optional drop off to 40-50 feet deep which we rarely do since there’s not much to see that far out.  We only occasionally go deeper to help those going for their AOW get more deep water experience (by request only). \nHere’s a video from one of our past Humber Bay dives. \n \nGranted it’s not the Caribbean but it’s an easy (and cheap) open water dive close by for those who want some more diving experience. And since it’s a shore dive\, it’s easy to get back to shore. \nSince this is an open water single tank dive\, this event is for certified scuba divers only. Those who are not certified yet should do Discover Scuba or take the full certification course. \nVERY IMPORTANT = all our group divers MUST complete a liability waiver form in advance which covers you for the entire dive season (download at link\, sign and send back to us or bring it to your first dive).  Divers who do not sign this liability waiver form will not be diving with our group this season. \nAlso\, don’t be late as we will not be waiting for any latecomers after 15 minutes past the posted start time.  We will start the dive without you.  Best to get there early to get a parking spot. \nIf you are planning to come to this dive event\, please indicate so in the comments section below. If we do not see any names in the comments section by Friday\, we might cancel this dive event since Clint has a four hour return drive trip to make in order to come lead dives at Humber.

DESCRIPTION:  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nWe will dive Shanty Bay which is considered to be the best dive site in the Lake Simcoe area with different features including wrecks in the water for divers to see.  As shown in the photo\, this shore dive is easily accessible for the beach and pier.  The dive site is a slow gradual slope with varying depths to beyond 100 feet for those who want to venture deeper but most attractions are much shallower. \nHere is a video of a dive at Shanty Bay to get an idea of what it’s like there. \n \nHere are directions to the Shanty Bay dive site; \n\ntake highway 400 to highway 11 north\nexit at Line 2 south\ncontinue all the way to the end where the Shanty Bay wharf is\nturn left on Bay St as we don’t want the smaller pier right at the end of Line 2\nlook for the bigger wharf just after you make that left turn on Bay st – will have some postal boxes there too.\n\nImportant Note On Parking \nThe township of Oro-Medonte which controls Shanty Bay has made it difficult for non-residents to park there.  There are parking spots at Shanty Bay but permits are required – non-residents of Oro-Medonte must pay for a permit costing about $100 for a six month period and the parking lot is enforced regularly with parking tickets of $60 issued for those parked there without a permit.  So we suggest just stopping at Shanty Bay upon arrive to drop off all your dive gear plus tanks and then drive back to a side street called Melissa Crescent about half kilometre away back on Line 2.  You can also try parking at the baseball diamond on Ridge Rd just east of Line 2.  The side streets close to the wharf are all marked no parking.  This of course is a big inconvenience but as a dive group we’ll try diving Shanty Bay at least once to try it out even if we have to walk a bit to our cars.  Depending on group feedback\, we may or may not return for subsequent dives. \nSince this is an open water single tank dive\, this event is for certified scuba divers only. Those who are not certified yet should do Discover Scuba or take the full certification course.\n\nFor post diving group social\, there is Tim Horton’s\, McDonald’s and other eateries right off the 400 at the Cundles exit which is the first main exit as you approach Barrie. It’s an easy entry back onto 400 on your way back home.\n\n\nVERY IMPORTANT = all our group divers MUST complete a liability waiver form in advance which covers you for the entire dive season (download at link\, sign and send back to us or bring it to your first dive).  Divers who do not sign this liability waiver form will not be diving with our group this season.  \n\nAlso\, don’t be late as we will not be waiting for any latecomers after 15 minutes past the posted start time.  We will start the dive without you.  Best to get there early to get a parking spot.\n\nIf you are planning to come to this dive event\, please indicate so in the comments section below

SUMMARY:Open Water Dive At Tobermory TUGS
DESCRIPTION:Today let’s try the Tugs shore dive at Tobermory since we already did the Lighthouse one earlier this summer. With a full tank\, we should be able to see all of the wrecks at this dive site. \n\n\n\nDirections To Tobermory Tugs Shore Dive \n\n\n\n\nwe’ll meet at The Tugs on Bay Street across from Grandview Motel near the harbour.  There are four wrecks at depths ranging from 10 feet to 40 feet\n\nNote that there will be parking charges at about $10 per hour so it has become cost prohibitive to dive both shore dive sites in a single day. \n\n\n\nVERY IMPORTANT= all our group divers MUST complete a liability waiver form in advance which covers you for the entire 2024 dive season (download at link\, sign and send back to us or bring it to your first dive).  Divers who do not sign this liability waiver form will not be diving with our group this season. \n\n\n\nAlso\, don’t be late as we will not be waiting for any latecomers after 15 minutes past the posted start time.  We will start the dive without you.  Best to get there early to get a parking spot. \n\n\n\nIf you are planning to come to this dive event\, please indicate so in the comments section below and vote for your first choice on dive location for our Saturday morning.
