British Columbia
is considered to be one of the finest diving sites in Northern America.
The National Geographic Magazine recognized Vancouver Island as
one of the best cold-water diving destinations in the world. Jacques
Cousteau called British Columbia the second best place on the planet
to dive -- right after the Red Sea.
The clear water of Barkley Sound welcomes you with an astonishing richness
of life under water. Salmon, rockfish, herring, squid, giant octopus,
sea otters, seals, and sea lions are all permanent residents. Others like orca,
grey- and humpback whales, Pudget Sound King crab, sea pens, and six gill sharks
will make your diving adventure even more interesting.
For enthusiasts of wreck- diving there are vessels like the Vanlene,
a freighter that sank in 1972 or the Thiepval, a patrol ship which
sank in 1930. |
