Where Are We Going?
British Columbia waters host a diverse topography and marine life that draws divers from around the world. Wreck divers enjoy exploring the three great wrecks in the area, one shallow in the channel, and two deeper just outside the Harbour; each offers a different diversity of life. Nearby walls and reefs offer something for both the advanced and the technical scuba diver alike.
May 11th-12th 2024 Trip
Join us for a full 2 days trip to experience Vancouver Island diving; some of the best diving in the world! We will be doing 1 day of fantastic shore diving looking for Giant Pacific Octopus, Wolfeels, Dogfish, Nudibranchs, and much more! On our second day of the trip we are going to boat diving to experience some of the most amazing artificial shipwrecks you have ever seen. Wrecks that we may dive include the HCMS Saskatchewan and the Cape Breton.
As we will be running a Wreck Specialty course at the same time, this trip will semi-unguided. We will be pairing divers together who do not have a buddy, but make sure you are comfortable enough to follow a dive plan without a guide to lead you for the whole dive.
Who is This Trip for?:
Wreck Specialty
For divers who want to add to their experience, we are going to be sending one of our instructors to teach how to properly navigate and enter shipwrecks underwater.

Commitment to Safety and Enjoyment
At Diving Sports we believe in making sure all our divers (Scuba and Freedivers) receive the best possible experience while maintaining a high standard for safety, both for the divers, the guide, and the environment we are visiting. Our dive guides have many years of experience diving locally in cold water. All Dive guides are trained in first aid and oxygen delivery. First Aid kits and DAN Oxygen Kits are present on all trips and courses. Dive sites or dive plans may be changed due to weather conditions or experience level of the group, as well as anyone not adhering to proper dive practices will politely be asked to adapt to better interact with the underwater environment.
