My wife comes up with the most amazing gifts. In 2002 she “gifted” me with getting open water certified.
I’m Corey, a passionate and dedicated diver with an insatiable curiosity for exploring the depths of our world’s waters. My journey into the mesmerizing realm of underwater exploration began on evening charters, where I embarked on a quest to expand my knowledge and skills.
Through rigorous training, including the GUE Fundamentals and Tech 1 courses, I was able to honed expertise and became proficient in the intricacies of diving. But it didn’t stop there; craving a thirst for adventure led me to uncover long-forgotten shipwrecks, often in remote locations where the only lifeline to the floor was the trusty “shotline.”
From that point on I was hooked on diving, captivated by the mysteries hidden beneath the waves. While their diving adventures have primarily centred around the enchanting waters of Ontario, I have also had the privilege of exploring dive sites in diverse locations such as Nova Scotia, P.E.I., Vancouver, Florida, and Tortola. Each journey beneath the surface has added to my wealth of underwater experiences and deepened my connection to the underwater world’s wonders.
