I'm using my new, adult name now. When I run for Prime Minister eventually, people would look at my old Scubaboard name, roll their eyes, and it will cost me votes.Great! My friends that used to live there have moved so I don't get to visit Gabriola like I did in the past

I think in the winter when the visibility is good, Gabriola might be my favourite Gulf island for shore diving. I like the colourful, high-current marine life of the Penders, but the visibility disappoints me half the time there. Galiano has some great diving, but I've realized that every dive site there seems almost identical (which is ok, because they're good, and there are those small, solitary soft corals that I've seen nowhere else).
Anyway, Gabriola has a good variety of shore-accessible sites, great visibility in the winter (with a good chance of sea lions) and is different enough from Victoria to make me drive up to Nanaimo and take the ferry across every year or so.

Well... I will vote for you. But only if you stand on a solid platform of more cookies.
