New Westminster

New Westminster is a historic city in British Columbia near the mouth of the Fraser River. It lies inland from the coast and is not a traditional dive hub. Nearby freshwater and coastal access exist within the broader region, but the city itself has limited direct diving relevance. The local diving scene is anchored by nearby coastal centers and itineraries along the broader Southeast Alaska and British Columbia coast, with some opportunities for shore or boat dives within reasonable day trips from the city.
