I will be traveling to Vancouver on business and expect to have time off during the weekend August 27-28.
- About myself: I am from Denmark and an experienced dry suit diver. I usually dive backplate and wing with a long hose setup when I can decide myself. I am also a PADI instructor.
- Although I am experienced in other locations, I have zero experience diving in Canada, so I would like guided dives or at least to dive with an experienced local who is ready to help a visitor.
- What would you recommend for dive destinations that are feasible to reach from Vancouver in the given time? What can i expect to see at those sites? Obviously I am interested in the stuff that I can't see here in Denmark like kelp, sea lions, dramatic landscapes, etc. Whales? But I don't know if any of that is even possible near Vancouver. In general, marine life is more interesting to me than wrecks.
- Are there any dive businesses that you can recommend? As mentioned, I am completely new to the area, both above and below the surface and I won't have a lot of time to explore, so I need all the help I can get to find my way around.
I look forward to hearing your advice. If any dive businesses are reading this, feel free to try and push your offers to me in this thread
Thanks!
Mikkel
