    Sunshine Coast Charter Operators or Water Taxis

    Thanks everyone! That gives me somewhere to start. I did email Porpoise Bay several weeks ago with no reply... I haven't dived the Chaudiere, I will definitely add it to my to-do list. Thanks!

    Sunshine Coast Charter Operators or Water Taxis

    I am looking at putting together a two day trip to dive the wreck of the Commodore Straits on the Sunshine Coast. I have never been to the Sunshine Coast and so I'm not familiar with the lay of the land, or the diving services available. The wreck is off Thormanby Island near Halfmoon Bay I...

    Vancouver Underwater Explorers Speaker Series

    I'm not sure that the China Creek wreck is worth driving for... Let me know when you confirm the you're coming to the Island and I'll try to drive down to Vic for that meeting. Maybe we can grab a bite and compare notes.

    Bomb Hunters – Our Tax Dollars at Work

    I live on Vancouver Island and regularly dive in an area called Barkley Sound. Barkley Sound is well known for its marine life, and especially for its wreck diving. One of the nicest wrecks is the HMCS Thiepval which lies on its port side in about 35’ of water. The Thiepval was a 130’...

    Changing levels during ascent

    I manage ascents exactly how Blackwood describes. The key being to stay ahead of the ball.

    A little travel advice?

    I live in Port Alberni which is right in your planned travel path (10min drive from Sproat Lake Prov Park). Some of the best shore diving on our island is in the Nanoose area which is is a 45min drive from the campsite. I'd be happy to show you around if you do end up in the area. Some of the...

    GUE DPV 1 - British Columbia

    I've been using it a little bit on the last few dives...I'm still not 100% convinced. Nose clipping it to my crotch d-ring really isn't too much more involved then this temp position.

    GUE DPV 1 - British Columbia

    I sent Dan an email asking about this temp position when dealing with multiple bottles, and he said the multiple bottles doesn't change anything. Interestingly he pointed out that he only had us holding the dpv between our legs during s-drill and valve drills for extra practice - normally...

    GUE DPV 1 - British Columbia

    The three of us used x-scooters and Dan used a mini gavin. I'm also wondering how practical this would be with bottles on a leash. Maybe this technique is only used in the recreational DPV course...?

    GUE DPV 1 - British Columbia

    Of course I asked Dan that, and although I wasn't completely satisfied with the answer, I learned a long time ago not to question Dan's answers. ;) Basically he says that it is the easiest way to get the scooter out of your hands and out of your way, while still keeping control over it. To get...
