DIVING
Dive BC - Scuba Diving Guide
The Emerald Sea Canada may not be the first place you think of for a Scuba holiday, but members of the diving community, including readers of Rodale's Scuba Diving and even the late Jacques Cousteau, have consistently ranked BC's waters, known as the Emerald Sea, among the top dive sites in the world. BC's sea life is vibrant and plentiful year round, but local divers agree that winter is best. That's when the view-obscuring plankton dies off and visibility can reach 150 feet, with water clarity rivaling that of the most popular Caribbean dive sites. Top BC dive sites include the waters off Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, where three artificial reefs have been sunk; the Rivtow Lion, which was successfully sunk on Sunday February 6, 2005 in Departure Bay; God's Pocket Provincial Park, near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, where the underwater scenery wowed M. Cousteau; and the Sunshine Coast's Saltery Bay Provincial Park, home to the Emerald Princess, Canada's first underwater statue The Underwater Council of British Columbia: www.ucbc.ca HelloBC
