Participants in the Certification Weekend in June are encouraged to:
- find a roommate (or two)
- determine which motel/resort/campground to stay at in Tobermory
- consider carpooling with your roommate
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.
Phone ahead to check prices and availability. Book in advance.
For example,
Coach House Inn – 10-minute drive to Lighthouse Point on Saturday, and a 5-minute drive to town, dive shop and the dock (parking fee is involved in town and at Lighthouse Point).
Cancel up to 7 days in advance. Blue North is investigating if we can hold a block of rooms for the club.
Note: You can book a room with 3 double beds for 3 people to share a room to lower the cost of the room fee.
