Dive Flag Santa Rosa Wall, Cozumel

Excellent drift. Current is variable on this location depending on reef structure and distance from the wall. Keep an eye on your depth & stay close to your DM. Most of the sea life is found close to the reef, but this location also has some significant life swimming along off the wall, so keep an eye on the open side as well.... Show More Sep. 8, 2024

Dive Flag America Barge Wreck, Rockport

Really interesting barge wreck with some tight swim-throughs underneath. Not for the faint of heart. The wreck itself sits in an active shipping channel, requiring a bit of a swim to and from. Keep track of your turns on the way so you get back to the correct mooring.... Show More Sep. 6, 2024

Dive Shop Icon Dan's Dive Shop, St. Catharines

Recently did a weekend trip with Dan's to a local destination. All details were organized beautifully. I was joining the trip as a solo. The DM was excellent; made sure I had a competent dive buddy and all necessary info to have a great weekend of diving. Even though there are shops much closer, I will gladly drive the extra 1 hr to support the amazing people at Dan's.... Show More Sep. 5, 2024
