Taxi? Bus? Bike?
You could try hitchhiking, but people may not stop seeing you with all that equipment and tanks.
Move to one of the infamous leaking condo buildings along Georgia or Pender near Coal Harbour so you can walk to the water?
Seriously though, do you have any friends who dive who have cars?

seems like it sometimes...
just find a dive buddy with a car.
Join the UBC dive club; they do regular dives at the popular site around the lower mainland. Im sure you wont be the only one without a car. Also some of the dive shops around town, International Dive Centre is one do evening dives and car pool from the shop to the site.
nwdiver2,
how's it going?
I would just like to say that IDC rocks!
Especially if you're without wheels. they are very concerned with finding you some sort of transportation.
How long have you been diving? And did you take you o/w, or any other courses with them?

Yup IDC does try to accomodate people without cars. I'm heading out with them this Sunday for a day trip to Boyer Island. I think that the afternoon trip (about 11:30 start) still has some space left in it. They are charging about $90 for 2 boat dives. If you need a lift I should be able to pick you and your buddy up. PM me if you need the ride.
Don't let the lack of wheels keep you out of the water!!!

Let me know how it goes!
