*If you aren't going somewhere warm to complete this course, that's ok! Jody or Jill can oversee "shark" dives even in Ontario! The whole point of the course is to get people thinking about how some dive locations may be hazardous (or friendly) to sharks both above the water (land hazards), and below! So yes, you can complete these dives with us in Lake Simcoe, or on one of our local excursions this summer! Hey, even in salt water we can't guarantee you will see a shark!
