Diving Discussion Boards Rebreatherworld - As the name
says, it's a rebreather diving board. Very useful to new and experienced rebreather
divers. There are lots of extremely experienced divers on it from all over the world.
Probably most international board of them all.
TheDecoStop -
Mostly technical diving and member list of full of experienced members. More
NorthAmerica-centric than RBW above and been around for much longer.
Ontario
Diving - started by the Northern Tech Diver folks and couple of local clubs in 2005.
No aliases board - i.e. you have to register with your full name. Probably the best
resource for Ontatio diving information.
Scubaboard -
from rec to tec with local dive groups as well as lots of international participants.
Probably the largest member list of them all |
Tried,
tested and recommended dive stores and charters. Toronto and Picton-Brockville corridor
(Eastern Ontario) Aquasub - my Local Dive Store. One of the few
shops in Toronto with trimix availability & high pressure booster. They teach
everything from beginner to full trimix.
Northern
Tech Diver - charters in the Kingston area. Also a place to get your GUE classes.
Dive Tech -
Increbible selection of dive equipment and toys. Dan Humble (the owner) has anything you
can possible want and few things that you did not know you wanted. Full rebreather
support.
Ducks
Dive - the only choice for Picton area. Closed as of 2013
1000 Islands
Pleasure Diving - picks you up at Caigers, near Rockport. My charter of choice for
diving Jodrey. Wayne Green is a great captain, the boats are fast and well built for tech
gear and cookies and hot soups late/early in the season are to die for! |
