Diving the waters of Vancouver island and Victoria is a divers paradise! Recognized as having some of the world’s best diving, diving on Vancouver Island is not to be missed. National Geographic Magazine recognizes Vancouver Island as one of the best cold-water diving destinations in the world and the renowned Jacques Cousteau Society rates the area as second only to the Red Sea for diversity of marine life and water clarity.
Vancouver Island’s emerald sea has something for everyone. Experienced divers and first time adventurers alike enjoy the amazing underwater world around Victoria and Vancouver Island, year-round. From multi-day charters and live-aboard boats to equipment rentals and expert advice and resources, local dive shops and operators are available to make every dive trip a memorable one.
Excursions may include exploration of artificial reef projects like naval destroyer ships and other marine wrecks who met their demise years ago. Descend seemingly endless rock walls exceeding 300 metres or explore a shallow reef that may be home to the famous six-gill sharks. Do not miss the opportunity to dive the largest artificial reef in the world, the HMCS Cape Breton. No matter what the Vancouver Island diving adventure may be, the experience is sure to delight the senses.
