We are coming to Vancouver Nov 1-5, and were wondering what is a economical and safe place to stay with our dive gear in the Vancouver area. Is there any place a peroson can store gear while diving in the Vancouver area?

Hey kcbar4,
I noticed that no one has replied to this thread. It kind of depends on what else are you doing in Vancouver. Downtown is expensive and hard to haul all your dive gear in and out but it is way more accessible to more "downtown" things such as Robson Street or theaters.
On the other hand, if you are more concerned about diving and dive gear, then I would recommend any one of the following:
North Vancouver Hotel Best Western Capilano Inn and Suites British Columbia, Canada
Hotel in North Vancouver Accommodations Comfort Inn and Suites Hotel BC, Canada
North Vancouver Hotel - British Columbia, Canada
They are all located exactly one block within each other and all of them give you good parking with the ability to haul the gear in and out of your room.
They are also at the foot of Grouse Mountain which will give you some touristy things to do as well as right next to Lion's Gate Bridge which will still give you very good access to downtown.
Lastly, Edge Diving Centre is just a few blocks away for air fills and gear rentals and the dive sites are all on the North Shore side of Lion's Gate bridge. So easy access to diving.
Cheers

Motion carried, all in favor?
I'm almost wishing I lived closer to the ocean as there seems to be a niche business as a dive B&B developing.

lack of vocalized dissent: carried and passed as unanimous
as for the b&b idea.... i wonder if some lionsbay dweller might consider buying a compressor.....
