OK so I am wondering if all of the possible shore dive sites have been explored and either publicized OR ruled out? I cannot believe that living where I do in Southern Ontario, there are no new dive options. It is possible that every possibility has been tried, and the only ones that were good dives have been publicized but I doubt it. I think there are people out there that know of other sites that are keeping them secret so that their piece of heaven does not get over-run with divers. Either that, or there are spots out there that nobody has even thought to dive.

Well, I am not going to accept status quo and will continue to look for new sites. I am increasing my arsenal of tools to be used for this very act and will hopefully have a couple of wins in the near future. I do hope to find a way of sharing this information with people because I want all divers to benefit from it.

It helps that there is VERY little in the way of advertising for local dive sites. This is something I plan to correct. As indicated, I plan to find a way of sharing this information with fellow divers. Hopefully when I do this, I can provide a lot of information on the site to make the first couple of dives easier and more enjoyable for those trying them out. Today, it seems that there are a couple of websites that list SOME sites in this area, and some books that list tons of Charter Only sites…..I want to provide you with a true “local” shore diving list. A list of sites that you could go to anytime and jump in as long as you have a tankful of air.

Here is a catch with this plan of mine. I have said it in many different places, I dive to be underwater. I do not dive to push the limits of my training by constantly trying to go deeper, or do something else close to the edge. I do not need a site that has tons of wrecks or sunken treasures to enjoy the dive. I want to dive so that I am underwater. If there is lots of exciting things to see or do beneath the surface then that is a bonus. Therefore, my idea of a good dive site may be slightly different than what your idea is. For this reason, I will come up with some way of conveying a neutral perspective of the site.

What is your take on this whole scenario? Are you an adventurer that always wanted new sites?
