Float N' Flag Sport & Dive, Inc.

Ontario Great Lakes, Canada

The team at Float N' Flag Sport & Dive, Inc. are exactly the kind of people you want looking after you in cold water. They’re a PADI 5 Star IDC centre, which means they’re serious about instruction, and it shows. If you’re looking to get certified, especially if you’re Canadian or planning to dive the Great Lakes, these are your people. They excel at building confident divers, comfortable with the extra gear and conditions that come with temperate diving. We love how practical their approach is. Diving in Ontario is all about shipwrecks, and they train you for it – from drysuit specialities to navigation skills that actually make a difference when the visibility drops. Our favourite dives with them usually involve a trip out to one of the nearby wrecks in Lake Huron or Lake Ontario, where the water might be chilly but the history is just incredible. Imagine dropping onto a schooner from the 1800s, masts still standing, the wood dark and silent in the depths. They know these sites intimately and make sure you’re prepared for the thermoclines and the often-moody conditions. It's a proper dive operation for proper diving.
