I was wondering if anyone knew some great diving spots in North America, Canada in particular? Any social media contests or sweepstakes I can enter for a dream diving vacation? I just tried scuba for the first time this summer in Akumal, Mexico, and I think I'm hooked. Saw giant sea turtles, squids, nurse sharks, schools of fish and a sting ray! Then saw hundreds of sea turtles hatch on the beach! Ahhhh, the life aquatic.
