Courtenay is a city on Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. It sits inland from the coast and is not a primary diving hub. Nearby diving access is limited, with the closest marine diving options found along the southeast Vancouver Island coastline and in the wider region. The single local dive center indicates capacity for training and local courses, but the area is better known for its outdoor recreation and access to freshwater and coastal activities rather than destination diving. If you’re visiting, you’ll likely plan trips to coastal sites or other BC dive hubs for more substantial diving opportunities.
