SPRING SCUBA KICK-OFF & ECO DIVE
May 30, 2015

Free

Again, we will be celebrating the start of another scuba season by hosting a "Kick-off" at Bonnie Boats in Jackson's Point.

This gives you a chance to get your gear out, make sure it is in good working order, and get your fins wet again! Instructors and Divemasters are there to help and answer questions.

We also coincide this dive with an "ECO" option. Bring a mesh bag and collect any trash from the waters as you go; Scuba divers really do make the world a better place!

Jody always BBQ's some burgers and hotdogs for hungry divers after you've gotten wet, so we promise you won't starve! Hope to see you there!

Don't miss the end of summer diving in Brockville, often called the Caribbean of Canada! The water is beautiful, and the drift diving is awesome!
