I have my open water scuba diving license. I need to do a refresher course though, I have not dove since before College.
The deepest I have ever been was about 45ft in Lake Simcoe. I have a fear of deep water (makes sense scuba diving eh!) During one of my first diving sessions, I was with the instructor I went to around 30feet and started to panic, consuming oxygen like mad.. There wasn't really any reason to freak out.. just I got scared because when you go deep you loose sight of the surface, and ahead of you is nothing but darkness..
We surfaced, I calmed down.. the next time he took me down but this time told me not to check my depth gage.. so I was ok, going along.. then he told me to check my depth gage and we were at 40feet!! I was fine after that!
I remember finding a dead seagull in Kempenfelt bay with a buddy...we picked it up and brought it to the surface than watched as it slowly sank in circles to the bottom!!
Oh, and Georgian Bay has some mad Crayfish populations going on...and Smallmouth Bass are incredibly curious, and brave fish! had one big one come right to my mask haha..went out to touch it and it darted away in a flash!
