Victoria Dive Shops

[ChevaYEA]

Hello there,

The Perfect Dive crew is still making our preparations for our trip to Victoria, thanks to everyone who has been so helpful thus far. I wanted to see if you have recommendations for dive shops in the area for us to use. We'll be staying near Ogden Point but wouldn't mind know what shops you all like to use. We'll need one up in Sidney for sure. Any suggestions?

I don't have a favorite shop myself, I try to visit all of them. Because I dive a CCR I only use shop who have O2. (No O2, No business from me)

If you close to Odgen Point, the shop there will do just fine. I don't think there is a shop left in Sydney but I could be wrong, Sunday Diver will know more about that.

In Colwood there is Wilson Diving
In Sooke you have ScubaStu
In town there is also Frank's White dive shop (no O2, so I haven't been there for over 10 years)
and Ocean Great adventure, under new ownership which is a good thing. It may be call Beyond Deep diving.

So you got a few choice.

Hope you will have a good trip.

Hey Jeremy,

Near Sidney (Saanich Inlet) I recommend Elly and Rockfish Divers.

I hope you have great dives up here in BC.

Thanks everyone.

Hey CoolDives - Nice to see you here. I don't know where white rock is, are you on Vancouver Island or on the mainland?

Sidney Divensurf has re-opened in Sidney. It appears that they under new ownership. They are located on the West Side of the Patricia Bay Highway (Hwy 17). Their website has a map of where to find them. Sidney Dive Centre - Vancouver Island, BC, Canada

Enjoy your time up here!

ChevaYEA - White Rock is on the mainland. You will probably drive by it a few minutes after you cross the border if you are heading into Vancouver first.

I hope your group has a great trip up here. Are you going up to Port Hardy - awesome diving!?

No, they closed shop about 6 months ago.
