Below
are some of the questions site visitors have asked us in recent months.
Perhaps our answers will help you out too.
Is Cape Breton Island part of the
province of Nova Scotia?
Many people are confused on this issue. Cape Breton Island is the northern
part (or eastern part) of the province of Nova Scotia. It is separated from
mainland Nova Scotia by a narrow waterway called the Strait of Canso. The
two parts of Nova Scotia are connected by the Canso Causway. To confuse
matters even more, there is a point of land on Cape Breton Island called
Cape Breton. As a point of pride, most residents of Cape Breton Island call themselves Cape Bretoners, rather than Nova Scotians.
How can I find out about charter boats
that take divers to Nova Scotia wrecks?
Most Nova Scotia dive charter operators schedule a few wreck dives.
Some specialize in wrecks. Our Links page has a section on dive
charters; check out these links for something that interests you. Dive
magazines and other diving Web sites provide information on wreck charters
too. You can also get charter information from other divers and local shops
and clubs.
I have a secret wreck site; how can I
keep it that way?
In these days of $99 GPS units, it's hard to keep a wreck site secret.
Any group of divers with a boat can find the area where you're diving,
pinpoint the location from a distance with a couple of compass bearings
and come back later for a dive. Probably the best advice we can give for
keeping a wreck site secret is -- don't tell anybody about it.
How can I find out more information
about a particular wreck?
Our Shipwreck Research page provides information on
how to do your own research. And if you don't have the
time to do original research, the keyword is "Local Knowledge."
For information about wrecks in a particular area, check with local dive
shop personnel, charter boat operators and local fishermen. Chances are
someone has lots of knowledge about the wrecks in the area.
How can I arrange for a link exchange to promote my site?
