Do I have to dive in Lake Ontario or Tobermory……ever?
No, and we understand that some people just want to experience scuba diving in warm water settings. This is why our courses generally come in two parts. Our classroom and pool training is completed together as the first part of our courses. The classroom portion covers the theory of the course and the pool is where we teach you the skills you need know to dive in the ‘Open Water’ (which basically means the ocean, or a lake or a river). Once you complete the classroom and pool training, you are then ready for the second part of your course, the ‘Open Water dives’. Theses dives test you on the skills you learnt in the first part of the course. They can be completed on your holiday if you want in a warm water setting or locally (if you do so through us, we use either a local open water site or the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, but please note that Ontario certification dives in an open water environment are not available after September 20, 2009 and will recommence after June 18, 2010
