Scuba Forum / General / October 2006Gear Envy
Finally finished up my check dives in Brockville on the weekend and learned first hand from my instructor why not to dive with a bad sinus cold. After he ruptured his sinus the diving went down hill from there, we were able to finish our open water checks though. I'd be more than happy to recommend a great group in Brockville if anyone is heading that way. I was hoping to make it to Gilboa yet this fall but I'll have to wait and see how things go and whether or not I can steel my dive partner away from his wife. I have to say that shore diving in Brockville was better than expected, though I didn't get the chance to see much "stuff" while diving I got to see a ton of great gear including Inspiration Rebreather demo's. I guess they do the demo's once a year and I just happen to be in the demo field. I can now see how, like my ski equipment, one could always find another "toy" to purchase. I saw home made and pro. set-ups that made me drool. I guess it just leaves something to aspire too. > I got to see a ton of great gear including Inspiration Rebreather demo's Did Kervorkian get out? ;-) > Finally finished up my check dives in Brockville on the weekend and > learned first hand from my instructor why not to dive with a bad sinus cold.

I don't know why but the shore dive spots in Brockville and Prescott Ontario have been jammed with people. In Prescott, on a Wednesday evening, you will sometimes get 100 people showing up. Nice thing about the dive sites are they are free, and, the viz is great. At Prescott there are so many divers that a chip wagon from Ottawa has moved in across the street from the dive site and is rapidly turning American divers onto the joys of an order of artery clogging poutine. > Finally finished up my check dives in Brockville on the weekend and > learned first hand from my instructor why not to dive with a bad sinus cold.

The flood of divers from the US and Canada is a direct result of the camaraderie and great relations built by rec.scubans on rec.scuba. You'll recall from reading the "daily dribble" that frothing of the mouth is down and accolades of admiration for Canadian life are way up. Would you expect any less than a congregation around you? > The flood of divers from the US and Canada is a direct result of the > camaraderie and great relations built by rec.scubans on rec.scuba.

Even my mother doesn't lie about me being good looking.  SignaturePopeye It was when Lucifer first congratulated himself upon his angelic behavior that he became the tool of evil. -Hammarskjöld www.finalprotectivefire.com Our Dive Instructor actully wanted to be at the dive site by 7:30am, I just thought he was an early bird but later found out that parking was a little tough. My inlaws live close by so it wouldn't have been an issue for me to jsut get my gear and me dropped off and then picked back up when we were finished. I noticed a lot of the shore divers were actually from Quebec. Maybe Brockville needs to install a "ski lift" to bring everone out to the good wrecks just off shore. > I noticed a lot of the shore divers were actually from Quebec. > Maybe Brockville needs to install a "ski lift" to bring everone out to the > good wrecks just off shore. The guys from one of the shops in Brockville tell me that there are some ridiculous restrictions on diving in Quebec province, and the water is cold. > The guys from one of the shops in Brockville tell me that there are > some ridiculous restrictions on diving in Quebec province, and the > water is cold. Things like the SPG must be in metric with French writing on it? Your SMB must include a white flag? Oh, wait a minute, that's the French SMBs... Does Quebec require that also? >> Finally finished up my check dives in Brockville on the weekend and >> learned first hand from my instructor why not to dive with a bad sinus cold.

Please translate into "Mercan. You say chip wagon. Is it anything like fish & chips? Signaturedillon If you can't figure out how to unmunge my address, email me and I'll explain it. >>I don't know why but the shore dive spots in Brockville and Prescott >>Ontario have been jammed with people.

This is why America is gonna be overrun by those Canuckian bastards, 'cause God-fearing Americans don't even understand the threat. Poutine is exactly what it sounds like: nasty gravy and cheese covering those Freedom Fries for which we Americans worked hard to make our own. Don't you dare cozy up to those poutine pushers that mean to destroy our American way of life. Hold your head high and say no to those damn kwabeckians. Say No! |
