My father just purchased a waterfront home on the coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia. His property has an outdoor shower, a boat launch that goes into the water and some gorgeous rock walls that have a slow grade to about 200ft. The place looks like the perfect dive spot and has me edging to get in the water.
I want to do a dive along the rock wall to about 60 ft on the first dive. Scope out the wall and try to map out the area. I would like to see if there is anything interesting to see on the wall or in the surrounding area.
My wife and I have about 25 dives under our belt with AOW certification and are pretty comfortable in the water.
What considerations should I have for diving in a new area? It doesn't feel to me that this is an unsafe practice but would like to solicite advice from experience divers.
Thanks,
JP
