Hello, Me and my son (age 18) will be visiting Galiano Island 5-12th August 2017 and Saturna Island 12-19th August. We will be diving from Victoria the week before, but just wondering if there are any divemasters who would be willing to show us some diving on either of these Islands (in which case we will take tanks and weights with us). We have 7mm wetsuits with 7mm farmer john and hood, not drysuits and don't have a great deal of experience (100 and 50 dives each, PADI AOW and SDI Rescue Diver certs, warm ocean dives and cold lake dives in Alberta, but no cold ocean diving experience before this trip). I understand there are no scuba facilities on these islands, so we could only dive the tanks we take, but would be nice to do a dive if possible, I just haven't been able to find anyone who dives at these islands, so any suggestions appreciated. Not knowing the area and understanding there can be strong currents we would like to dive with a divemaster with local knowledge. Thanks Tony.
