New in Vancouver, BC

[seal diver]

Hello Everybody,
I discovered this board today surfing the net. It looks like a great place!
I moved to Vancouver BC recently and unfortunately don’t know any divers here yet. If you guys can recommend great shops here, please write me.
I hope I'll meet some of you soon!

Hi,
I am also new to this scuba board and am also a Vancouverite... well, sorta. I am a bit more south of the city so I can only recommend the shop I deal with which is in Whiterock. They are terrific there, but I am sure there are lots of other great shops around as well.
If you like to see seals when you dive (as your name implies), there are plenty around. I saw some today in fact, as well as sea lions, but they weren't playful and curious like the the one who nibbled my buddy's fin on another dive!
Welcome to Vancouver, and this board

Glad you found us! This is a great place to spend your SI, but watch out, it's addictive!

Don't forget to check out Western Canada for even more folks from your neck of the woods.

Hey, another BC person. I'm from Surrey. If you're downtown, go talk to Mark at IDC. He's on this board quite often. Welcome to the board.

I also go to a shop in White Rock. Ocean Pro. I'm sure this is where Diver Debbie goes too by the sounds of it, cause there aren't any other dive shops around here.

Thank you guys, I will visit the shops you recommended!

You are going to be so glad you found this board. I have been diving for 15 years, yet have learned so much in the short time I have been on SB.

Welcome to SB!
