Porteau is a wonderful site which allows you to dive several wrecks and explore some artificial reefs. Life is plentiful around the wrecks and you are certain to see plumose anemone, lingcod, quillback rockfish and fields of feather stars. Porteau is a marine park that ensures you do not need to worry about boat traffic on the surface provided you stay inside the designated area for divers.

This is a perfect dive for newer divers, good time to get the Summer Diving fever started!

IDC is pleased to announce that we are returning to the Glass Sponge Bioherm in Howe Sound to further explore this distinctive and ancient reef system. While we lack extensive coral reefs in our temperate waters we have something much more unique in glass sponge reefs. Most of the known Bioherms in BC are not accessible to divers either due to depth or location; however, we are fortunate enough to have one of the rare exceptions in our own backyard. Not only that, but this site in particular is appropriate for both recreational and technical profiles.

Join us aboard the Topline as we explore this precious ecosystem. Aside from the sponges themselves, there are plenty of juvenile rockfish of several species, squat lobsters, a variety of crabs, nudibranchs and as always a chance to encounter an octopus or wolf eel, if you’re lucky.

Due to the sensitivity and ecological value of this site a minimum certification of GUE Fundamentals is required. The trip is led by Alan Johnson. Price includes 2 dives, hot drinks and snacks on the boat..

Scuba diving on the west coast of Vancouver Island is a spectacular and unique experience.

Discovering the Barkley Sound with Rendezvous Dive Adventures adds an extra dimension to it. Situated between Port Alberni and Bamfield, in the middle of nature we offer great diving and encounters with wildlife below and above the water. The Rendezvous in the Barkley Sound is the oldest charter business of diving in BC, Vancouver Island. Home of great diving with wolf eels, Giant pacific octopus, and one of the world richest waters. Also called the Emerald Sea, it was rated by Jacques Cousteau as the second best site in the world!
