Bringing History Home – The Return of the SS Norisle
In the fall of 2016 the Tobermory Maritime Association had begun the regulatory process to “Bring History Home”. Our goal is to return the S.S. Norisle to Tobermory where she has served, and to then scuttle her just outside of the Fathom Five National Marine Park. The waters of Tobermory already shelter a maritime museum. What better final resting place for her to be preserved then in the crystal clear waters of Tobermory?

Introducing Dive Hub
Dive Hub was developed to help divers find and share dive spots close to you. When I (Tom Rutledge) first started diving I found it difficult to find people to dive with and sites to dive. After joining a local club I was able to connect with several new divers and have made some great friends in the process. One thing that was still lacking was information on dive sites. I created this site in the hopes that many divers will share their favorite dive sites.
