Overview

Are you a CERTIFIED SCUBA DIVER and interested in scuba diving in Vancouver? Then you've come to the right place! Wall diving, pinnacles, canyons, seals, drifts, sponge bioherms, artificial reefs, and stunning ocean and mountain scenery - explore it all on this 5-Hour boat diving adventure! Head to Horseshoe Bay and take our 40ft fully diver-customized boat "Topline" (the best dive boat in the Pacific Northwest) out to explore the emerald waters of Howe Sound. Here you can commonly see Pacific octopus, wolf eels, nudibranchs, and beautifully bizarre fish such as the decorated warbonnet and the grunt sculpin.

Frequently Asked Questions

(8)

Q: How soon can I fly in an airplane after Scuba diving?

A: Participants in the Scuba Dive Boat Charter in Vancouver (Certified Divers Only!) cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive. The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS. Read more Jun 2024

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
