Another fun weekend in Tobermory with a lot of nice dives, 5 in 1 day for some! We love the September trip…The water’s warmer having had all summer to warm up and we of course were blessed with some super fun people, good food and even some taco’s when we could sneak them in as well.

Thanks to all of our awesome DDS Divers who have attended this and any and all of our other trips and charters this season.

Trips are winding down for the season with hopes of a few “off the books” trips to come and some impromptu road trips to other places as the fall and winter season approaches.

Morrison Quarry, Thousand Islands, Dolime and other places are some nice potential landing spots for the remainder of the season, as well as some nice Humber Bay Diving, Welland and of course in a few weeks Sherkston Quarry should be clear enough and for some fun adventures too.

We have a few dive charters remaining locally, so let’s get out and visit the Tiller and some Lake Erie Diving Sites while the weather stays nice and the water slowly cools off.

Fall Diving is the best diving. Waters are the warmest and often the clearest unless the lake thermocline flips which is always a unique experience too.

Thank you for all the fun and enjoyment. Next season we are already planning some big things and some different trips.

One thing that sticks with is why keep doing the same old, same old all of the time and you know us, we like to break the mold and get out there and do some different stuff. This is where the Lake Erie sites have been so fun and we’ve really enjoyed some of the other amazing places too.

We’re mixing in more technical diving trips next year and a lot more training related trips too, as it makes sense to visit a new spot and truly explore it inside and out, so if you have recommendations on where you’d like to go locally let us know and of course our travel destinations abroad internationally are also in the works too for those not able to join us on the current list of sold out trips.

The Echo analyzer is showing why it’s so valuable. Oxygen, helium, bad gasses that shouldn’t be there.

Without analysis how would you know ? These fills didn’t come from our store.

One of the most fun courses to teach is our Intro to Tech Course. When our students show up and perform, it’s the absolute best course in the world. Sometimes (often) students require a lot of additional work, but the end result speaks for itself.

Intro to Tech is a gateway to everything awesome that makes more extreme or technical diving so fun and rewarding from caverns and caves, to shipwreck pe*******on to technical diving beyond recreational limits, exploring the biggest and baddest shipwrecks, getting into mixed gas diving with helium, rebreathers, sidemount and so much more.

If you’re looking for the best foundational skills training and technical diving education, it’s worth it and we are your best choice to get you there.

We had a lot of fun recently diving the S7 CCR. Very solid unit, breathed nicely in all positions, dry in all positions, loved the needle valve, very solid quality, loved the clicks open/closed.

With all of the travel weight and luggage 🧳 issues, a rebreather weighing less than 6kg’s just makes sense right?

Last year we were part of a wreck expedition diving around Newfoundland. We dove the Hazel Pearl, a schooner off Champney’s West near Trinity Bay. Visibility was horrible. A storm was rolling in and waves and we weren’t sure what kind of a wreck we’d found at the time.

Matt found rigging and deadeyes and pulleys on the ocean floor at about 115’/34msw, but it wasn’t until we drifted into the mast that we actually knew a wreck was down there 😂

Our friend Neil Buegess was back out on it recently and shared these lovely pics of the ships wheel, companionway, foremast, winch and more.
