Location: Wreck of the Transpac, Butedale, British Columbia Well, we have officially kicked off our Alaska season and are on our way from Vancouver (Steveston), British Columbia to Sitka, south-east Alaska.  It’s been a great start to the trip with 2 dives of scuba diving around Pearse Island, Browning Pass and Dillon Rock in Shushartie Bay. I’ve been having […]

YYAAAYYYYYHHHHH. Excellent diving and thoroughly enjoyed it. That’s it for right now.  Michelle Many anemones, king crabs, coral – I love bull kelp – it’s all great so far. 7 Tree is my favourite so far. Urs. Excursion trips were great.  Saw 2 black bears from up close today. First Nations burial caves in Browning Pass were amazing. Ruth […]

Location: Browning Pass, Port Hardy, British Columbia Well, it’s the start of our British Columbia and Alaska season and we are very happy to be back in our home waters.  Scuba diving in Mexico with great white sharks, giant pacific manta rays, dolphins and lots of other sharks is awesome.   But it’s also nice to be home.  First dives of this […]

A BC Classic: Port Hardy Scuba Diving

The intense invertebrate life on Browning Wall is so thick and prolific and colourful that you cannot see the underlying rock at all. Until you’ve actually seen the brilliant reds, oranges, yellows, whites and all the amazing colours of the soft corals and other inverts, it is almost impossible to imagine how fantastic coldwater diving is. The tiny pinnacle of Dillon Rock is a story onto itself with 6+ wolfeels hiding in cracks and crevices, numerous giant pacific octopus, rarely sighted vermillion rockfish, a lovely kelp forest at the west side of the rock teeming with black rockfish, and dozens of chimera (ratfish in the shark family) cruising around on the sand bottom just off the rock. Great diving and a lovely day was had by all. Even the black bears cooperated with multiple beach appearances.

Diving the Beautiful and Famous Browning Pass

Dive #1 was on Browning Wall with it’s densely packed populations of soft corals, sponges and invertebrate life. It is just as colourful and dense as the best of the south Pacific. Dive #2 was on Hussar Point. Dive #3 was on Snowfall where all the white plumose anemones were “out” (rather than being retracted).

Spectacular Visibility Diving Browning Wall

Dive 2 was on what I call the Red Wall portion of Browning Wall. The red soft coral (gersemia rubiformis) is so thick and abundant that the entire wall looks red and there is not even a square inch of bare rock on which to push yourself off with your hand! Visibility was spectacular (maybe some of the best of the year?) and we were able to quite nicely enjoy the dive from the deck of the skiff.
