Just one.  Get on an airplane and fly south.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Won't the other wombles object?

Are you driving there?   It's been awhile since I have been there, but
what I remember the most is that parking is precious.  The drill is
that you drive into the parking lot at Little Tub Harbour, unload your
car, park up the street a bit, and then walk back to the parking lot,
pick up your gear, and carry it onto your dive boat.

It was, and maybe still is, possible to make it more convenient by
staying at some hotel on Big Tub Harbour.  The dive boat would come
right up to the dock.

There was, and probably still is shore diving available at the tug
boats and at the lighthouse.  

As you make your plans, bear in mind that you will be diving in a
National Park and will need a permit.  You can get one in Tobermoray,
but give yourself time to do it.

Where are you going to be driving from?

If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.

Toby is a very good dive trip. Many good wrecks. I have a few suggestions,
but not on where to stay.

1. Plan your arrival in mid-afternoon. You will turn right off the hiway
into the 'downtown' area. One of two primary dive shops is on your left,
"Divers Den". The other is after a quick right turn to follow around the
right side of the dock area, but I don't recall the name right now.

2. About half way around is the office for the park. Stop and get your dive
disk as your registration. Also see some of the maps, details etc about the
wrecks you will dive later.

3. Drive a little bit farther up the road and on the left is the parking for
'the tugs' dive site. A few mangled old tug boats, depth 10 to 40 feet, but
a great relaxing dive since you were driving a car all day. Nice benches for
getting dressed, outhouse, and steps to the water. Caution: depending on the
lake level, you may have some odd things to step around.

4. The 'anchor' is a nice dive for the morning on your way out of town. But
not that big a thrill unless the "Chi-Cheemaun" ferry is coming in or out.
The sounds from the engines, bow thrusters, etc... is really neat.

5. Speaking of the ferry, if you can allow the time, plan for a dinner
cruise. It runs over to the island and back You get a rather nice meal on
the way out and that time of year it is a sunset cruise. But bring a good
jacket incase you go on deck during the ride back.

6. The Niagara II is a good modern  planted wreck. If you are tec oriented,
the stern of the "Forest City" is nice at 150f, look for the head
(bathroom). What's nice is for most of the directions of weather there is
still a few sites available. Sadly the nicest, "Arabia", is also the most
weathered out as it is in a rather open area at 100f.  For details
