simonv Posted July 12, 2005 #4 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Port Hardy, British Columbia Sounds cold. What do you see there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted July 12, 2005 #5 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Sounds cold. What do you see there?It is. It has been at pretty constant 45f all the times I've diving in British Columbia. What you can see is wolf eels, giant pacific octopus, anemones, nudibranch (like very colorful slugs) shrimp, sea stars, the occasional seal, and lots of other marine life. Here are some photo galleries: Quadra which is across from Campbell River Nanaimo which has some great wreck diving. Wolf Eels They were from a site near Victoria BC To be honest, I haven't been to the south pacific, which is where I'd really like to dive. It is possible that there is better diving there than BC. At least it would be easier diving ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize you had so many nudibranch in cold waters. Do try Indo-Pacific islands. Unlike Tahiti they are still unspoiled. Wetsuit is easier than dry suit, too.

Pacific Sandy Posted August 7, 2009 #11 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Has to be Fiji and the Great Barrier Reef. I still dream about the colourful soft corals and amazing sea life. Flights are pretty cheap right now........hhmmmmm ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted August 7, 2009 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I agree with the Fiji. I hadn't been there when this thread was started in 2005. I was there last June. It's hard to get really excited diving the in Caribbean now. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonv Posted August 7, 2009 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I just came back from the Misool archepelago in Raja Ampat, northwest tip of Papau, Indonesia in the coral triangle. I see why it's called the epicenter of marine diversity. To support this much sea life, the water is pluncton rich, and that means clarity sometimes isn't as good as other places I've been to. But amazing bazzar creatures!!! Monster grouper, sea horses, stone fish, crocodile fish, tasselled wobbegong ..... Oh, My!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
