Hi - my husband and I are heading to Vancouver for some dry suit diving in September. We will have a car. Looking for your favorite Vancouver-area dive sites.
Thanks!

If you have a car, the best diving in Vancouver is......on Vancouver Island 
Take a great ferry ride and you have some of the best diving the Pacific Northwest has to offer. Typically, we have better Viz on the island, less traffic and some more interesting sites, from charter boats on artificial reefs to some very cool marine life dives. PM me if you want more specifics. BTW, where in upstate NY? I am pretty familiar with the area around Lake Champlain (Platsburg, Lake Placid)

If you're coming for the diving, then I would definitely recommend that you keep right on going to Vancouver Island and/or the Sunshine coast. Diving around Vancouver is good, but many dive sites on Vancouver Island are better. There are good dive sites near every major town on Vancouver Island, and most of the spots in between.
Post again when you solidify your travel plans, I'm sure you can find some people to show you their favourite sites.

I agree with the others. Jump over to the Island.
Another vote for the Island.

Have to agree, if you are coming all that way go just a bit further and get over to Vancouver Island. Most of Vancouver is on a river delta which limits the local diving considerably.
