Any place to dive around White Rock, BC?

[darron]

I'm going to be in White Rock next Saturday around noon or so - is there any place to dive around there that's worth it?

I can't find anything online - and tides may be an issue - but any tips or pointers would be great.

Thanks.

As far as I know, there is no diving there. Boundary Bay is shallow and muddy, and too close to the Fraser river. The further away you get from the Fraser, the better it gets. You'll have to go to Vancouver (i.e., Whytecliffe), Indian Arm or Howe Sound. Or better yet, take a ferry to the Island or Sunshine Coast.

Another option would be going south into Washington, although I am not familiar with the sites down that way.

You could always dive the pier & breakwater in WR. Its shallow - 20-30ft but could be interesting. I've been telling myself that I need to do it for some time now.

Hmm - maybe the pier will be an option. Doing Whytecliffe on Sunday and then Nanaimo on Monday and Tuesday - just have to be near White Rock on Saturday and want to go underwater.

Thanks guys.

you can dive whatever, wherever and whenever you want... even in WR... however seeing anything might be a different story. I remember playing in the water there as a kid an not seeing my toes most times...
