Nothing says welcome to Big Thunder more than a mass spawning event!♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡We’ve been in @cityofthunderbay for just shy of a week and while our late arrival did mean we missed the summer boat charters, we were fortunate enough to arrive right around whitefish spawning time.Whitefish are a species of freshwater fish found throughout much of Canada and in parts of Northern US including all of the Great Lakes. They are a valuable commercial fish that prefer colder, deeper sections of lakes. Here on the edge of Lake Superior, pending the time of year and water temperature, mass amounts of whitefish move inshore to shallower water to lay their eggs on shoals of rubble and gravel.Wally at @thundercountrydiving was kind enough to let us tag along on a club night dive to enjoy this seasonal event. Over the past few days, we went out twice to experience this massive spawning. On our second dive, we hit the jackpot, catching fleeting glimpses of hundreds of these silver bodied fish dancing just beyond the reach of our lights.

We are stoked to have our bulk order of colouring books in!! They are now, not only available on Amazon and in select retail shops, but also through our website :) No shipping charged for North Bay people who want to pick up a copy directly from us, however please message us before ordering.

I am always so bad at post scheduling for these dedicated animal days, but not this time. HAPPY WORLD OCTOPUS DAY! 🐙🐙🐙Over the past few years, Joey and I have had so many special encounters with these intelligent suckers, that I figured I’d share some photos of my most memorable ones in Spain, Portugal and the USA.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡@scubaeducators @haliotisdivecenter @ikelite

⁣Back to work after a dreamy week visiting Ontario's wreck diving peninsula... you guessed it... Tobermory! It's been a long time (3 whole years!) since we've been diving here with @diversden , but like many of our previous visits, this trip did not disappoint.⠀
⠀
⠀
Because of COVID, we planned our trip late enough in the season to miss the summer crowds, but our late arrival did lend us some wind days and pretty chilly weather. Not to worry though - we stayed warm and cozy in our drysuits!⠀
⠀
⠀
Check out our last day of diving at the Lighthouse Point (thanks for the site information Kelly)!!⠀

You are NEVER too old to play in the mud.A few weeks ago when Joey and I went diving, a little girl asked us to bring her back some spa mud from the bottom so she could rub it on her face. It was by far one of the funniest and most adorable request a kid has ever made to us while going out on a dive. Unfortunately we didn’t have any containers to bring mud back to her.That little girl is the inspiration for this next series of photo’s. Usually I am pretty strict when it comes to stirring up the bottom. Backscatter is such a nuisance in underwater photo’s. You should have seen the twinkle in Joey’s eyes when I asked him to throw mud around like confetti. I’d say he aced it!!! Let’s just say he is still cleaning mud out of his hair.

I think this Arctic shanny would agree, its getting mighty chilly around here. Joey and I have all but blinked our eyes and the temperature has gone from summer to fall. There was even snow on the weekend just south of here. You heard me right...SNOW!⠀

#TurtleTuesday is too cute to handle! 🐢🐢♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡Winding along the eastern coast of Lake Huron is the Georgian Bay World Biosphere Reserve. This internationally recognized segment of land stretches from Severn River, 175 kilometers to the French River. It contains the largest collection of freshwater islands in the world and is home to hundreds of different species.Within the Georgian Bay Biosphere Reserve, Magnetawan First Nation is a community committed to conserving, managing and restoring the natural resources within its lands and water. Of the 8 different turtle species found in Ontario, all 8 can be found in the Biosphere Reserve AND all 8 are considered species at risk, ranging from special concern to endangered. A few weeks ago we had the distinct privilege of visiting the Magnetawan First Nation - Lands and Resources department to sneak a peek at some newly hatched Painted and Blanding turtle babies. Every year dedicated scientists study, track, collect and hatch turtle eggs in an attempt to help Ontario turtle populations rebound.♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡@ontariotravel @scubaeducators @natgeo @explorecanada @unescoworldheritage
