Fun Dives, relax and simply have a blast with IDC and community.
An IDC Instructor leads a fun dive at one of the many great local sites. There is no charge for the guided dive and dive rental equipment is available at a 25% discount - and quite often the group will opt to enjoy a second dive that evening or day. It's a very relaxed atmosphere and is catered to all experience levels. If you would like to join us, simply call International Diving Centre, let us know that you will be diving with us and we will take care of organizing the rest.
Here is a list of some of the local dive sites.

Annapolis is going down this year!
All of the diving community are very excited about the possibility of having a new Artificial Reef in our local waters. We have been asked to participate in helping clean up the HMCS Annapolis. If you want to be part of our diving history and make new friends please check out the links below. Also visit our photo gallery to see the ship.
Latest News!
It is with great delight the latest development on the Annapolis Project. After three years of hard work and perseverance, the ARSBC has been officially advised that the former HMCS Annapolis was accepted as a gift to the B.C. Provincial Parks Branch by the Honourable Murray Coell, Provincial Minister of Environment. With this confirmation, the Annapolis now has a new mission to become a long-term stable marine habitat in Halkett Bay Provincial Marine Park and will provide the bay with an opportunity for habitat restoration and needed bio-diversity.
We know that you join in celebrating the news, and while no date for sinking can be made at this time, we will be providing updates on our permitting progress leading to an official date to announce the sinking. The ARSBC wishes to express its sincere thanks to all those who have volunteered their time to help make this project a success. We deeply appreciate everyone’s efforts.
Even with the bulk of the heavy work behind us, there is still a lot of work to complete so we will still need volunteers on weekends and mid week to put the final touches on recycling and environmental readiness. In simple terms, the quicker we get this done the sooner we can sink the ship and enjoy a new dive experience. Now that Annapolis will have an official home the excitement to the finish line is in site. Further announcements will follow for volunteer days and we hope you can come back and lend a helping hand again.
