Hornby Island - Sea Lions

[WestCoastRoller]

I was asked by a few friends from eastern canada to put together a trip for next spring to Hornby Island to see the Sea Lions at Norris Rock. I have been there several times, but not in the last 3 years. Are they still running the Sea Lion dives or are they only doing the Six Gill Shark dives now. I had heard some rumors about DFO clamping down on diving with the sea lions, but I dont have any details.

I went on my first trip to Hornby Is. in March.We did two dives with the sea lions but they seemed to be around on every other dive too. I have every intention of going back for the Sea lions next year.

Yes they are, you can find it if you google "Hornby island diving". The Edge dive ship does 2 trips there per year. One in Feb and the other in March. Of all the dive trips to do, this is the one. Sea lions love to PLAY!!!!!!

Ocean Pro Divers does a couple sea lion dive trips to Hornby Island as well. The trips sell out super fast. It's awesome diving with sea lions! I highly recommend it.
