Plan your trip

– sunscreen, hat, warm clothing, towel
– your own lunch and snacks
– all your own dive gear
– two tanks.
Scuba Gear:
– Bring all your own scuba gear, including two tanks.
– The water is probably a typical Ontario temperature for mid summer, so expect to need a “double 7 mm” wetsuit with hood, gloves and boots.
