Little Sands Dive

Thanks for the pics guys. If anyone else has some dive pics they would like to share, you can email them to james_noreen@pei.sympatico.ca and I'll get them posted for you.

Treasure Hunt

Gerald has been tossing the idea around about having a underwater treasure hunt. He is thinking maybe everyone throwing 5 bucks worth of loonies into a chest and planting it at sea. The person or persons who find it get the money. This event was held in previous years in Tracidie and was a great success. An event like this should have as many divers as possilbe to make it fun. If you are interested please leave a post and maybe leave some suggestions .

Thanks

Lunenburg Dive

Hello all,
Our trip to Lunenburg was a great success. We left on friday morning and drove to a dive site called Birchy Head in St.Margret's Bay. We did a one tank dive and had a depth of 110'. This was Miles and Bretts deepest dive(great job guys) and Tessa had a depth of 75' which was her deepest dive(also great work). THis is a great spot to dive with easy accses to the shore and very easy to obtain any depth you wish. Everything to see is from 0' to 60' (plant life, lobster, even a school of mackerel past) and then turns to sand. We recommend this site to the beginner to the experienced diver.


On Saturday we did a two tank dive on the Saugenay, this was the highlight of the trip, we all had depths of 90' and had about 60' of visiablity. The ship has so much to see that all I can say is you have to see it yourself.















On the way home we stopped at Paddy's Head near Peggy's Cove for one last dive. THis was a great spot for the beginner and also if you wanted to see some big lobster( like the one below)

Weekend Divers

Hello all, if anyone is up for a dive this weekend or are planning a dive you can leave a post here for others to see.

Sunday Dives

It looks like Sunday turned out to be a windy day for the north side but didn't damper the spirits of some divers. Paul, Gerald, Miles, Brett, and a visitor from away(sorry I don't have her name) did a dive under the Pinette bridge and did another dive at Point Prim. They say both dives where very good. Gerald and Paul sent a couple of pics.

Also some have been asking if we should have a face to face meeting to see if we are on the right track or if anyone has any suggestions to make our club better for all divers. The site seems to be doing well with lots of hits. Please feel free to leave a comment at any time if you have a suggestion.

Thanks

Recreational Scallop Diving

Miles has been working on trying to get approved, scallop licences for recreational divers around PEI. This would be the same licence divers from NS and NB can purchase for a fee of 10-15 dollars and be aloud to take 50 scallops a day per diver. He has been in contact with Pat Binns and he thinks it is a good idea seeing other provinces already have it approved. What he wants from us is a list of names from divers around the island that are for this type of licence. So, we are asking if you are interested on adding your name to the list please leave a post and say you are infavor or not, and if so we will add it to the list. Miles would like to get this list in as soon as possible.

Thanks

Wreck Hunt Was Successful

It was great to see some new faces at the most recent dive for the PEI Dive Club. The dive was planned by Paul and Gerald.(great work guys) And was joined by Pierre, Dave, and his son. The dive took place in Savage Harbour on Sunday July 9th in search of the wreck of the George N. Orr. With intense research and planning the wreck was found a short distance from shore. Gerald says the ship is a steel hull ship and is still in pretty good shape. He says the site is great for the beginner diver and the snorkeler to have a look at one of many ship wrecks that scatter along the coasts of PEI. Everyone had a great day and also had a BBQ on the beach with their families and friends. Great job to all who took in the great day.
If anyone has any questions about the dive or is planning another dive please leave a post. this will be the 4th dive for the PEI Dive Club so lets keep up the great work.


Shore dives are hard work
