You probably get a million of these, so apologies and thank yous in advance. My girlfriend and I are taking our first vacation together. We are both students (i.e. "poor") on the Canadian dollar (i.e. "poor") so value is important :D We are looking at keeping the trip as a whole under $2000...

I am planning a trip to Pavilion Lake (elevation 820m), planning to do 2 dives around 30-80ft/40minutes each. Afterwards, with a 3+ hour surface interval, do a back packing trip to 1500m (400m in 3.5k trail). Risking the bends?

On a night dive at Porteau Cove, after watching students all day at Whytecliff, we were fortunate enough to find this Stubby Squid feeding on a shrimp (which I think might have been more than it could chew) aboard the Granthall. I wonder if they are "in season." My friend and I both had first...

Just did a dive at the Lions Bay Marina. Very interesting dive site...a lot of what is present is indicative of a site with minimal disturbance. I'm posting mainly because there is little info on this site. The left side (if you are facing the water, entry via ramp) is sandy bed->rock piles...

Hey Nudibranch lovers and photogs... Tons of bay pipefish (no need for an ID...;)) saw six on one dive on the left wall at Whytecliff but more exciting news is that... Cockerell's Nudibranchs have taken over Whytecliff! The right wall is literally swarming with them, hundreds, can't miss em...

Anybody have any clue? Found it at Ansel point. Sorry for the poor picture quality.

Just a heads up for anybody who loves nudibranchs, Strathcona in Deep Cove is literally crawling with them! Red Flabellinas, Opalescent Nudibranchs, White Dendronotids, and enough Lion's Mane/Hooded Nudibranchs to feed Vancouver! Was on a tight schedule so couldn't make it to the islands...

A lot of beautiful vegetation, a plant that rose 10-15 feet and formed something akin to kelp forests. Not much fauna, some snails, aquatic worms, and small schools of Rainbow trout. Max depth around 16 feet, visibility is decent maybe similar to a good day in the ocean (the rain earlier in the...

Hello all, Was just wondering if anyone has dove Lightning Lake in E.C. manning park? Going on a camping trip with some friends and was wondering if it was worth cramming my gear into the car.

Return to the wrecks and went to find the wall. Wrecks are easy to find, just around the pilings right in front of Galileos. GUE has actually taken responsibility of the wrecks. They are recording info on them, so the wrecks are actually marked by buoys on the surface. The wall was a bit...

Found an Octopus mom guarding eggs in her den :D I'll keep the location a secret for now, don't want too many divers stressing her out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3y3hydNafLc&feature=share

So while we were making our way to the anenome garden from the Cut, I (my buddies missed them) saw this humongous school of small fish (maybe ten feet wide, ten feet long, and extended from 50 to 20 FSW). Kinda hard to see in the video, all the twinkling is fish, but can anybody attempt to ID...

Just returned from Porteau Cove today. Was surprised to see the Nakaya deteriorating faster than I thought it was. A large section (15~20 feet of deck and whatever of the bowels connected to it) of the bow has broken off from the ship and the deck near the break is completely mangled. Now I know...

Visibility was horrible everywhere but the Nakaya...some interesting critters were found anyways. http://youtu.be/g7YJOyhZ8Zw

So on my dive yesterday, descending into the cut (near the entrance) we came upon this buddhist/indian statue. Has anyone else seen this? Is there a story behind it? :shocked2: (It is also my first breeding season as a diver, it is very cool to see so many young rockfish, perch, jellies, and...

Went out with OQ's Saturday dive, nothing special. Found a lot of life in the cloud sponges. I was told there was a Greenling in the water with a decorator crab, either it eluded me or did not exist :p http://youtu.be/dcOlnTRv1P0

I think I almost like it better than the anemone garden, or maybe I've been there too many times :p https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4d_jMCw5GHg&feature=youtu.be

Went out to Furry Creek today with OQ. Tried out my new camera rig and lights for the first time (got a thread with pictures and video in the Videography forum) and wow, I am pleasantly surprised with the Archon D11Vs...need to work on steady hands still :blush: FurryCreek is nice, viz in the...

The batteries for my Archon D11Vs finally came! I can finally take this guy out for a spin, I'll post a video and comparison pictures once it gets dark and an in the field test run tomorrow :D Wonder how well the DIY macro lens is going to work underwater. I salvaged it from a broken digital...

Just finished my advanced at Jericho because of the weather, heres a little rant... Apparently there was a pipe fish and I totally missed it. I was right next to it while somebody else was filming it with my video setup! I was supposed to have this special moment with my camera.:crying2: I...
