Pre-Trip Meeting at Huron Scuba:
DATE TBD
Join us for a fun weekend of great diving, snorkeling, hiking, and shore activities in Tobermory. This is a great
opportunity to experience excellent wreck diving, relax in the company of your buddies, and learn more about the
history of Tobermory, Great Lakes shipping, & diving.
These trips often sell out so sign up soon! This will
mark our twentieth group trip to Tobermory, so let us
share our expertise with you.
We have chartered Tobermory's best dive boats for two-tank trips on Saturday and Sunday mornings,
and reserved them so that you may add dives on Saturday afternoon. Night dives are available from
shore (free) or dive boat (extra cost) on Friday and Saturday evenings. Sites we have visited include
Niagara II, Newaygo,
Philo Scoville, King, San
Jacinto, City of Cleveland, Wetmore, Sweepstakes, Arabia, and the Caves
(or Grottoes). Shore diving on "The Tugs" and at "Lighthouse Point" is unlimited.
Multiple boats help novice and experienced divers to dive with others of similar ability levels, increasing everyone's
enjoyment. Our accommodations are in Little Tub Harbour
(a four-minute walk to your dive boat and the harbor
shops and restaurants),
and your package includes Friday and Saturday night
hotel rooms. Extra nights and dives are available to
extend your weekend.
Tobermory is at the tip of Ontario's gorgeous Bruce Peninsula. Family and non-diving activities abound, including nature and hiking
trails, glass-bottom boat tours to the shipwrecks and the rock formations of Flowerpot Island, golf, shopping, canoeing and kayaking, a
historical walking tour, a lighthouse, and the Chi-Cheemaun ferry to Manitoulin Island. This is small-town Northern Ontario. Bring your
hiking boots!
All rates are per person and based upon double occupancy.
All rooms are non-smoking. A $150 deposit
(nonrefundable) will hold your space and
the balance must be paid by July 5, at which point
all monies become non-refundable.

Saturday night, the (in)famous Huron Scuba Dive Team
movie night at the cottage beside the Tobermory Princess
hotel starts at 8:50 pm - let's see if we can beat the
standing room only crowd from last year! Come with your
popcorn and enjoy the classic "Monty Python's
Holy Grail."
The Mapquest directions might confuse some, ESPECIALLY
WITHIN ONTARIO, so we offer the following.
Get to Port Huron and go over the bridge. You will be in
the left lane off the two-lane exit off I-94. The right
lane is for trucks only. Pay your $1.50 and stay left on
the bridge, watch for the changing signs midway over the
bridge for which lane you may use.
Once in Ontario, go straight out 402 towards London (you
will go 36 km). There is construction for several miles.
Right after that ends, there is an exit for 21 North
(also is towards Forest and The Pinery Provincial Park).
You will be on 21 north for about 2.5-3 hours. Watch it,
it makes sharp turns in two cities. Once you start
driving east, after Port Elgin, you will go about 20
more minutes, through Elsinore, Allensford, and then
right as you see a cluster of Alvanley signs, there is
"10 North." Take that left turn and you will immediately
see a sign for 99 km to Tobermory. 10 North turns into
Highway 6 north. You'll be in Tobermory a little over
an hour after that sign - turn right at the Diver's Den
and you will be in the Little Tub Harbor area. If you
skip 10 north, you will go through Jackson then
Sprimmount, where you turn north onto highway 6.
For driving home, the record time home on last year's
trip followed this route: Skip Sarnia, and head directly
for Windsor and the Ambassador Bridge, linking up to
I-94 in Detroit.
Popular courses that are available on this trip include
Dry Suit Diver,
Advanced Scuba Diver,
Enriched
Air Nitrox Diver,
Shipwreck Diver, and more. Ask for more details on "Buy two get one free" certification
courses.
