Would it be a good idea to scuba dive and snorkel in James bay, Canada?

Question

I mean would it be safe?

Answer 1

Not sure about safety... but this time of year it will be darn cold.

If you are looking for an interesting place to go diving... go to Tobermory Ontario... and check out Fathom Five National Marine Park.  It's well worth the trip.

Answer 2

It might not be the best place to scuba dive, you'd have to get there by train as there is no road, so you couldn't go by car.  The closest road ends about 150 km away.

Once you get there, making sure that you have a room reserved in a hotel (you don't want to be sleeping on the street) you would be diving into freezing waters and keeping your eyes open for Polar Bears.
