Thinking about a BC trip and have an opportunity to stay in Parksville. Any good / bad feedback?

Scuba_Noob:There are a lot of great shore dive sites at the Parksville and Nanaimo areas. The only one I've been to is Madrona Point, which is excellent the 9-10 dives I've done there (you do need a compass and decent navigation to hit the wall). And I know that Tyee Point is pretty good. Here's a web site with some more locations Shore Dive Information - Sink or Swim Scuba - there's a link on there with boat dive information too.
I can't say anything about the shops there, as I always bring my tanks from the Victoria area shops, but I'm sure someone else can help.
