Barrie

Barrie is a landlocked city in Ontario, Canada, located on the western shore of Lake Simcoe. It is not a coastal diving destination, so local diving activity is limited. Nearby freshwater options exist in the broader region, such as flooded quarries or lakes used by local divers for training or casual dives, but these are not in-city attractions. The city serves as a gateway and base for inland divers and for those visiting the wider Great Lakes region, with nearby water access and a small community of dive centers in the region offering courses, gear rental, and local outings.
