Return to Tobermory...

Seizing the opportunity of a few days calm, Dianne and I made our way North to Tobermory this week. Ye Gods, it's a journey and a half, but worth it.. We stayed in a really delightful rental cottage near Big Tub and managed a total of four dives. The weather caused us to lose a day, but that's life. We were intent on re-visiting the Arabia, undoubtedly the most impressive of all the wrecks in the Marine Park. Conditions when we did were excellent. About 60 feet of visibility and only the lightest of currents. The blue hue of the water in the area between Georgian Bay and Lake Huron is extraordinary - and the absence of Zebra Mussels means that the wrecks retain their definition. Construction details really stand out. Kingston has many more, and better, wrecks than Tobermory, but the dive conditions there are outstanding. There was much discussion early this year of a Club trip to Tobermory. Now's the time to get something on the books for 2011.
