SCUBA Diving
The SCUBA diving capital of Canada, TOBERMORY, and it's
surrounding area has a wealth of great dive sites. Many of the wrecks
are located within the boundaries of
Fathom Five National Marine Park, Canada's first National Marine
Park. (A park dive tag is required to dive any sites
located in the National Park). But there are many more close
enough to make a great day of diving.
Groups or clubs can book for Full Day or Half Day Charters.
Reservations can be made, in advance, by calling G+S Watersports Ltd. at
(519) 596-2200. A 50% deposit is required for all charters.
G+S always welcomes walk-ons or individuals.
If you will be in the Tobermory area, please drop in to see us.
You can check out our calendar ahead of time to see where we are going
or you can check out the board when you arrive. You may join other
individuals and you may be able to have input into the site(s) you dive
on that day. If you have enough other divers with you, you may
even get the boat all to yourselves!
