God's Pocket, Browning Pass, Bc

[Jungho Kim]

Just got back from another great trip to God's Pocket, Browning Pass. I love this place. Bill, Annie and the God's Pocket crew are always amazing hosts. The food is fantastic and the people are always amazing. This was my 5th trip up there. If you haven't dove Browning Pass, I highly recommend. God's Pocket Resort :: Scuba Diving & Kayaking

Looks like you had great conditions. I'll be back in August for the third consecutive year. I hope we get similar vis.

What temp is the water ? could you dive in a 7mm wetsuit or is a dry suit a necessity ?
Really amazing photographs!

Water temperatures are in the 40s. Dry suit and some thick undies required!

GORGEOUS photos!

Thank you. The water temp was 47 - 49 on most sites. Drysuit is a must. I usually came up pretty chilled after 45 -55 mins even with a drysuit.

Oct is a great time. The visibility will be excellent. You will also see more lion's mane jellyfish during that time and the kelp will be thicker.

I have only been there in April and Oct. Generally, the vis is better in spring and fall.

The diving at Browning Pass is accurately described as advanced. I would recommend getting comfortable diving in cold water in a drysuit and currents prior to diving there. Being a self-reliant diver is important at Browning Pass.
