Whats the diving like?
The lushness and density of invertebrate life in the pristine and sheltered waters of British Columbia is amazing. The octopus, wolf eel and sea lion encounters are legendary. The scenery topsides is spectacular as is the wall and drift diving. The diving in the Port Hardy area has some of the best known and famous sites on the west coast of North America. The diving is consistently excellent at places like Stubbs Island, Browning Wall, Seymour Inlet and the Deserter Islands. You can expect to see vertical walls covered with intense and extremely abundant invertebrate life as well as schools of black rockfish, Irish Lords and other sculpins, very large lingcod, wolf-eels and octopus. We generally dive at “slack current” which will limit you to 3 feature dives per day with a 60 minute run time. There is some serious current in this part of the world (up to 21 mph in places!) and it is very important that we dive at “slack”.
