  • A dramatic view of the bow of Arabia

    A dramatic view of the bow of Arabia

    This image was featured in the November 2014 issue of DIVER ® Magazine. This diver is looking down at her foredeck gear and anchors. Sunk in 1884 in a November gale, all hands made it safely to nearby Echo Island.

    An unusual view of this Tobermory favorite... the structure in the upper left is the tip of the aft mast, which has fallen.

    The stern portion of this wreck was torn off by a careless anchoring prior to the establishment of Fathom Five Marine Park. The Park installed moorings at all the wreck sites to help to protect them!

  • Divers off-gassing after a dive on Arabia.

    Divers off-gassing after a dive on Arabia.

    Arabia can be a busy place on a warm, sunny day. Normally, I dive her alone or with one or two friends, but with other friends on a charter this day, I wanted to tag along! Two charter boats and my Zodiac form a backdrop as these divers decompress following their dive.

  • Divers complete deco on Georgian Bay... a necessary evil.

    Divers complete deco on Georgian Bay... a necessary evil.

    Apparently, this image made it onto a wedding invitation! It's amazing how many dive buddies end up hitched to each other!

  • Diver in Grotto, Bruce Peninsula National Park

    This image was featured in the March 2015 issue of Diver ® Magazine,

  • City of Cleveland

    City of Cleveland

    Here, divers explore the massive boilers on this shallow wreck. While she is badly broken up, there is still lots to see. Her remote location make her a treat to dive when the weather cooperates.

  • The Propellor, City of Cleveland

    The Propellor, City of Cleveland

    In only 20' of water, the "Cleveland" is one of largest wooden ships sunk in the Great Lakes.

  • Diver on the Niagara II

    Nothing like a DPV to cover a lot of turf.

  • Diver in The Emerald Sea

    Diver in The Emerald Sea

    The senses run on overload with the bio-diversity here. Jacques Cousteau called this chilly waters of British Columbia, "The best temperate water diving in the world", and rated it second only to the Red Sea for bio-diversity.

  • Divers on the Keystorm

    Divers on the Keystorm

    This steamer ran aground in a thick fog in the St. Lawrence River in November 1912. She lies on a steep slope in depths from 25' to 115', making her an excellent dive for all levels of experience.

  • Deco on the Vickery

    Deco on the Vickery

    Always a trick at this St. Lawrence wreck site. The current can be very strong, so hiding behind a rock helps divers stay put!

  • Bad Neighbor Descent

    Bad Neighbor Descent

    Tobermory is best-known for it's fantastic wreck diving, but it also has some amazing deep walls and caves. Here a technical diver drops down the wall at Bad Neighbor Rock, a nasty shoal north of Cove Island. It drops straight down from about 30' to well over 200'. Very few people dive here due to the remote location and difficulty anchoring.

  • Lady Dufferin Wall

    Lady Dufferin Wall

    Another deep wall, named after the wreck that sits both on top and at the bottom! This image was captured at about 170' on an especially clear day.

  • A diver shoots video at Seven-Tree Island

    One of many amazing dives in the Browning Pass area, north of Pt. Hardy, BC.

  • Browning Wall. Possibly the most beautiful dive in the world!

    Browning Wall. Possibly the most beautiful dive in the world!

    Running for several miles, the sides of Browning Passage are home to all manner of corals, sponges, invertebrates and fish. This image was selected for the cover of the Dive Industry of BC's promotional brochure.

  • Diver on the Tiller Wreck

    Diver on the Tiller Wreck

    We had fantastic visibility on this early December dive. The "tiller" is readily visible to the diver's left and a unique sight. This wreck lies in 115' of water, near St. Catherine's, in Lake Ontario.

  • Birdseye View of the Tiller Wreck Bow

    Birdseye View of the Tiller Wreck Bow

    A diver explores the bow area where the windlass and other machinery is visible.

  • Diver on the Tiller Fantail

    Diver on the Tiller Fantail

    The thick layer of Zebra Mussels is apparent in this image. These intruders are a mixed blessing... While they help improve visibility, the plankton that they filter out of the water is food for the young members of native fish species.

  • Diver and Hydroids

    Diver and Hydroids

    These colonies of tiny creatures can give a careless diver a nasty sting...
