Norris Rocks - This is one of our most popular dive sites. Norris rocks are located at the southern tip of Hornby Island and part of Helliwell Provincial park and are the year round home to dozens of resident seals. These seals are extremely playful and curios of divers and snorkelers alike. The shallow waters that surround this site are teaming with colorful plant life, sea stars, sea pens, cup corals and dahlia anemones. Giant lingcod, an assortment of rockfish and colourful greenling are plentiful as are fields of sea urchins. You will also see purple-hinged scallops, giant moon snails, and BC's endangered abalone, as well as the odd octopus and huge schools of assorted feeder fish.

Chrome Island - This is another favorite for photographers and divers alike. The Island is located at the southern tip of Denmin Island and houses a picturesque lighthouse. The storm beaten cliffs around the lighthouse are home to hundreds of cormorants and other sea birds that may be seen 'flying' past divers as they chase the schools of feed in the area. This is an excellent dive for novice divers that can discover the remains of the 100ft freighter M.V. ALPHA that ran aground here in 1900. Its bow section is located in 35 ft and many parts of her giant engines still remain scattered around the site. Octopus, greenlings, huge lingcod, and rockfish are plentiful as are the rock crab and on occasion you may see Puget Sound king crab. Corals, kelp and large rocks make up the bottom creating a garden effect that must be experienced. This is also an excellent night dive!

Flora Islet - World famous as one of the only two places where a diver can count on seeing the giant sixgill shark, Flora Islet is one fantastic dive. The site has been perfectly arranged by Mother Nature to house almost everything a diver may want to see. This islet resembles a set of stairs under water. The first step is located about 25ft and is teaming with small fishes and larger cod and aquatic plant life, corals and anemones, urchins, abalone, scallops, the list goes on and on. The next step is located at the bottom of a near vertical drop to about 65 ft. This where is fun begins, as larger fish come in for a closer look, your guide may introduce you to the resident octopus. As you approach the edge of this step you will see the bottom of the wall where it meets the sandy bottom. This where the sixgill sharks are most often spotted. These giant creatures spend their lives in the unattainable depths of every ocean in the world but can only be regularly seen at a couple of sites. They are identified by their six gill slits and the noticeable lack of a large dorsal fin that is usually associated with other sharks. They make up for this by having extremely long tails, which seem to add to their overall length. Some of the smaller sixgills are about 8 feet long and much larger ones have been spotted. These sharks swim slowly along the bottom and can easily be matched by divers. Swimming along side one of these docile giants is one of the most amazing thrills any diver can experience.

Wolf Eel Alley - Wolf Eel Alley is our most popular dive site.  This dive is done by following a sloping stone bottom to 60ft where we find an incredible wall of life.  Because of its incredible rock formations many giant pacific octopus and of course dozens of wolf eels call this wall home.  You are sure to be amazed by the variety of life.  No matter how many times you visit this dive is always memorable!
