Last Minute Diving out of Port Hardy

[Phish92129]

Hi all,

I work out of various ports during the summer surveying pacific halibut populations and I was recently assigned to board in Port Hardy next week. I would really really like to fly up a few days early and dive the Browning Pass/Gods Pocket area.

I've been looking around but it seems like the area isnt set up for last minute dive trips and almost every number I call is out of date or the wrong number. Gods Pocket resort seems to be the best deal but I would need a full rental kit and they dont seem to have gear available.

Anyone here have ideas on how I can swing this?

Thanks

Sun Fun Divers in Port McNeill might be able to help you. They often leave out of Port Hardy for the same Browning Pass sites.

Thanks, I emailed and called Sun Fun Divers but haven't recieved a reply, it is possible I'm using outdated numbers. I'll root around and call again tomorrow. I want sure if they were still operational as I called North Coast Divers and got a residential number and then the hideaway contacts arent working for me either.

There isn’t much up there...

We’ve chartered in the past with UB Diving out of Courtney for diving up there, but i’d doubt they’d trailer the boat up for a diver ...

Having said that, lots of shops to rent gear from south of Campbell River (still a 2-3hr drive to Pt Hardy)

There is always a shore dive near the Ferry , it is not Browning but it is still a good dive .
