I am coming to Parksville next week and am debating bringing my gear with me for some diving. I am on a course for work and arrive on the 9th so am available for a pm dive, Sunday the 13th after 6pm, and/or something between those dates. Is there a dive shop or dive club I can contact for tank rental and shore/charter information or anyone looking for a buddy. I will need to rent tanks and prefer to dive manifolded doubles. I have experience diving dry in cold water and dive all year long. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
 
Hi there,

My dive shop is Sink or Swim in Nanaimo...excellent service, will rent what you need (including a dry suit in these cold waters)

Just wanted to say thanks to Shirley and the Nanaimo Dive Outfitters. I called a couple of shops in the area and Shirley was able to easily accommodate my needs. Shirley rented me her tanks and offered that I join her group on a local shore dive. This was my first time Diving on the west coast and I am thoroughly impressed with the diving and the people. I will be out again and will take a couple of extra days to do some more diving. Thanks again.
