Prince Rupert, BC

[Poogweese]

Hi I have recently moved to Ketchikan, AK and really enjoy the diving here. Since I'm only a 6 hour ferry ride away from Prince Rupert, I was curious if anyone has dove there and could give any advice regarding dive spots, both shore and boat. I don't think there is a dive shop there, but maybe getting fills at the fire station is an option? Thanks, and......HAPPY NEW YAR!

I found the following by searching the BC dive guide as the single entry for Prince Rupert. Perhaps it will help

why not get your gear and fills in AK and then pack it all on the ferry?
ps Ketchikan is a sweet town. took a cruise a couple of years ago and that was one of our stops.

Yeah, that's probably what's going to happen, I was more curious regarding dive locations around PR, the last time I was there the Nautilus Explorer was tied up to the dock and the guy I talked to said the dock wasn't bad-junk, fish, etc. I was also wondering about the Prince Edward cannery site-usually a good bet for bottles, etc. Unless its already been picked over
