Recreational and Technical DivingĀ
Spring is a good time to dive on Vancouver Island.
Visibility is usually good and it starts to warm up in March. If you are here for Leading EDGE V 5.0 anyways...Why not stay a few extra days and experience Vancouver Island hospitality! Costs are $200 CDN per day per person and charter fee includes a hot lunch. Gas and cylinder rental are also available. There is a minimum participation of two days and you can chose which days you want. You are of course welcome to stay for all seven days if you wish!Ā

Spectacular Marine Life
Vancouver Island is home to some amazing marine life including the Giant Pacific Octopus and the Wolf Eel. We have Basket Stars, Brittle Stars, Plumose Anemones, multiple varieties of nudibranchs, and schools of Rockfish, Cabezon, and Ā Ling Cod. You might also see Orcas or even Humpback whales and if you really want to, it's easy to find Sea lions and harbour seals!
ReadyĀ to Explore?Ā
We plan on doing 7 days of diving and we are leaving it up to you to decide where you want to go! Ā Once the 8 spots are full we will circulate a survey to all the participants with options for walls, wrecks and nothing interesting dives and based on the results of the survey, we will decide where we dive! Weather always plays a part in real ocean diving but we have lots of options and lots of places to hide from wind and storms. Ā
