Well, it is time for many of us in this area to start fighting the winter Blahs.....

OK, so here I sit as the winter approaches (first snow has arrived) and I realize, yet again, that winter sucks. I am a diver, not a skier although there is a set underwater at Cedar Hill. And that is another thing about living in this area of Southern Ontario. Other divers are talking about (on a regular basis) going out and diving on sunken Aircraft Carriers or beautiful reefs…..I talk about sunken skis. Give you an idea of the area in which I live?

I want those beautiful reefs and plentiful sea life. Believe it or not, I am not truly complaining about where I live, but I do wish it was closer to waters that are dive able year round. I want to see the Frogfish (see above) every day.

I want to see the turtles every day.

I want to see the kissing trunk fish every day.

I want to see the Scorpion Fish every day.

I want to see the Moray eels every day.

I want to see the Squid every day.

Because I was having strobe issues with my camera on some of these pictures, they have had the red added back into them. While this is a near true representation of what they looked like, the pictures got somewhat grainy after correction.

Where do you live and what do you wish you could see every day? How long is your dive season? Mine in theory goes from about June to October. That takes the water temperatures from about 45 to about 45 degrees. Above that is manageable, however colder than that and the dives get less (but still) enjoyable.
