Mark, Kevin, and Guy are still good people, though, and I'd suffer the rigors of a ride on the TTC to get Guy to overhaul my Poseidon for me. Aquarius is at 416-604-4203; it has a bit more of a CMAS leaning than most shops on this side of the Atlantic, as the owner is from Poland. A Mississauga shop named the Air Supply is presently setting up to offer Nitrox. They also handle Dive Rite and a couple brands of manifold and such gear. Presently, the Toronto-area dive shop I most want to be near when I need something is Kingston Dive Centre. Yes, they're almost three hours east of Toronto, but they have good staff, good products, and good prices. Also they're the Canadian distributor for a couple of lines of tech gear. Besides, there's some great diving not far from their front door, which is more than any of the shops in Toronto can say. I recently came across a flier from Sportech SCUBA, a fairly new facility at 6965 Davand Dr. in Mississauga, 905-670-4916. I haven't been there yet, but they're on a must-see list next time I get out to that side of the city. The owner is an IANTD trimix instructor, so one would expect his dive shop to be quite respectably tech. I should disclaim that there are a lot of other dive shops in and around Toronto, and perhaps some of the others do a bit of tech as a sideline too, but the above represents what I know about personally. -- Anthony DeBoer http://www.onramp.ca/~adb/ adb@he*.re*.or* (here) adb@ge*.co* (work) #include "std.disclaimer"
