Does anyone know if the outflow/stink issue has been resolved at Kelvin's or is it still best to go elsewhere?

HP 100s as single or double tanks. Love the physical size of them, they are the perfect length for me.

Another loud vote for a bp/w. I'm curvy and my bp/w fits like no other bcd could; it's extremely comfortable. For all the reasons written about here over and over, I love the way it performs and feels in and out of the water. I've travelled with it and it does travel better than almost any other...

Aww, shucks. I should've skipped school and done this trip! As usual Bob very eloquent write-up and beautiful photos. I had heard about the nudis riding the sea cucumber. Hope we'll see you up there this summer!

The bonus is if you do declare it you usually get on first (so you offload first on the otherside and beat the traffic. If that matters.

I do not believe the two departments are one, though they do work together. And I'm not quite sure, Vince. This is the case at Cates' Park in North Van. Perhaps it is in regards to the Olympics, though from what I understand it is simply shut down for the duration (which could be very wrong...

Actually, I assumed it was DFO, but I'm looking into it. And Rutger, I already explained myself. And it's "she". Edit: Whytecliff is protected under the federal Fisheries Act and therefore is DFO's responsibility.

I am relatively certain that this was a private vessel for several reasons: I had never heard of it, nor has anyone else I have spoken to. Google search hasn't turned up any info on it. And, like I said it may have been an honest mistake. True, I doubt this, but I still I feel it would be...

As the others said, it may have been a genuine mistake (initially, though I don't believe for a second they couldn't hear me). If they return a public tar & feathering may be appropriate, however. Tre, I like the idea of raising funds ourselves - it is something to look into; but for the record...

Okay, I don't mean to be confrontational (well, perhaps a little), but I was out with a few others today diving Whytecliff (and what a beautiful day for it) and as we were packing up our gear someone pointed out a boat in the bay. At first I assumed it was a misguided rental boat as occasionally...

You are so not on my side these days! I'll remember this...

You've seen it haven't you?! It's on FB for your viewing pleasure. I'm technologically impaired when it comes to getting it up here... plus I've lost the disc I had it on, wonder if my buddy still has it.

I've had good luck with September up there. But I hear April is fantastic, I'll find out this year! Fall and spring are supposed to be the times to go. I've had amazing viz and rather lame viz in August. But really, Port Hardy diving is always mind blowing. If the viz isn't great, focus on the...

I've seen a massive polychaete at Whytecliff as night in the past in about 15ft. It swam exactly like this, I'd have to agree that is what you encountered. And I've seen several at/near the surface up north. Though I've never seen one with an anterior section like the one in your vid, I would...

I think we're in agreement here ZKY. Though, your area may come around as they are surrounded by it. There are many divers in the San Diego area that are in BP/Ws, I know for a fact and up north in Washington State and here in BC they are prolific. When I bought my first bcd I was told not to...

TS&M beat me to the punch. I, too, dive double 100s with a 40lbs evolve wing (in BC waters). It is even doable with a single stage (an 80), but I wouldn't exactly recommend it. I'm 5'6 on a good day and these tanks are very comfortable for me. I've tried double 130s before and I can barely move...

Thanks Bob! It will have to be before I run off to Browning for the summer again. Unless, that is, you make the trip to the best of BC's diving!

Usually I wear a jacket in the pool and BP&W any time I am in the ocean. It's funny (as in sad) that apparently the sales of BP&Ws are so low that shops claim they aren't worth stocking. And a little odd... because we sell more than all other BCs combined. And while I know so many that make...

Oops. Nevermind. Re: lost fins

Nice pictures Lee! Please do post some if you go out on that boat dive.
