SUMMARY:Scuba Diving 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
