Nanaimo is home to the best of British Columbia's world famous wrecks! Explore the former HMCS Saskatchewan, B.C.'s most popular wreck along with the HMCS Cape Breton and the Riv Tow.

On June 14, 1997, Snake Island became the home for the former HMCS Saskatchewan. The location of this 366 foot ex-Canadian Navy destroyer escort on the east side of Snake Island makes this an excellent two-dive destination when combined with Snake Island Wall or the former HMCS Cape Breton.

The former HMCS Cape Breton is a 400 foot World War II Victory class ship and was sunk in Nanaimo on October 20, 2001. Cape Breton is the world's second largest diver-prepared artificial reef! She sank in 3 minutes and 37 seconds and sits upright with a bottom depth of 142 feet and a top of 35 feet.

The newest addition to Nanaimo's underwater fleet is the 157 foot North Sea Rescue Tug the Rivtow Lion. Sunk February 6, 2005 this ship is a perfect dive, conveniently located in Departure Bay only minutes from the dock.

This trip includes two nights accomodation, lunch each day and five boat dives. You must have your Advanced and Wreck certification (or be enrolled on our Wreck Specialty - offered on this trip) to join us. Deep certification is also recommended

Sept 10 to 16, 2012 - SOLD OUT!

Port Hardy is the Mecca of cold water dives. Browning Wall, Hunt Rock, the wreck of the Themis, Barrie Islet and many other sites offer some of the best diving in the world. Featured in National Geographic, Discovery Channel and Imax films, diving in Port Hardy cant be beat. Shear walls are covered in a conglomeration of some of the most beautiful invertebrate marine life you will ever see. Sponges, anemones, soft corals, nudibranchs, urchins, crabs, starfish, bryozoans, and other life forms blanket the bottom and come in almost every shade of the rainbow. You will often encounter Long fin Sculpins, Red Irish Lords, Puget Sound King Crabs, the occasional octopus, and various varieties of rockfish. The marine life here just seems to go on and on.

Accommodation for this trip is with God's Pocket, a land based scuba diving resort. Accessible only by boat, and surrounded by forested islands and the waterways of the Queen Charlotte Strait, a visit to God's Pocket provides not only spectacular cold water diving, but also an opportunity for kayaking, swimming with dolphins, and whale watching. Up to three boat dives a day will be included in this adventure. Separate cabins are spread between two buildings. There is also a larger common room for reading, hanging out, or watching movies. Meals are held in the common room and are gourmet.

The wonders of the Galapagos diving experience will be with you for a lifetime. Few will have the opportunity of diving some of the most remote and pristine seas in the world. No other place on Earth boasts such a variety of sea and land life. Your fourteen days will be filled with memories to last a lifetime - thrilling dives, exotic vistas - and these will be only a small part of your experience.

Diving the Galapagos can be challenging, but the rewards are great - schooling hammerheads, Galapagos sharks, whale sharks, mantas and myriad other pelagics frequent these waters. Nature's bounty is not confined to the waters, of course - Charles Darwin's work concentrated largely on the rare terrestrial ecosystems, which abound with flora and fauna unique to the archipelago.

Alaska is something every diver should experience. It doesn't matter if you have thousands of cold-water dives under your weightbelt or have never been in a drysuit before. You need to experience this. The scenery is stunning and spectacular. The diving is some of the best cold water diving in the world. And the animals topside are just as enthralling as the critters below surface; grizzly bears ambling along the beach, bald eagles more numerous than seagulls, humpback whales blowing right beside the back deck water level as you sip your morning coffee. This is the full meal deal from incredible diving, photo opportunities, kayaking and shore expeditions all the way through climbing up icebergs.
