Here are some examples that we have heard about from past participants. These are meant only as helpful ideas, and not endorsements from Blue North Scuba Club. There are many motels, resorts, cottages, cabins, camping examples in the area. Please check on the internet and make a choice that is best for you.
For example,
Big Tub Harbour Resort – walk to Lighthouse Point, save money on Saturday parking, instructors will likely stay here, drive to town and dock.
