Canada

British Columbia

British Columbia offers a mix of coastal, temperate marine diving along the Pacific Northwest, with a coastline dotted by fjords, inlets and island groups. Expect kelp forests, rocky reefs, and abundant marine life in the The Coastal Waters of Southeast Alaska and British Columbia. Diving hubs include Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, with a range of shore diving and boat access from coastal towns and regional centers. The region also features freshwater lakes and river systems further inland, but the main dive interest remains the temperate saltwater environment and seasonal visibility changes. Overall, BC provides accessible recreational diving plus opportunities for more advanced dives on exposed sites and wrecks.
