In my opinion the wolf eel is one of the most wonderful creatures in our waters. They are so ugly that they are cute, and resemble the grumpy old men from The Muppets. There are many misconceptions about them, making a lot of divers fear them for no reason. I hope this article will educate you a bit more about these creatures and help you enjoy them a bit more.

Getting caught in poor visibility can happen to any diver at anytime. Getting trapped in a silt-cloud causes a zero visibility ‘silt-out’ which creates challenges for divers and forces them rely upon other techniques to move around safely and try to get to better vis. Here we look at some techniques to help you should you ever find yourself in a silt-out.
How to reduce the risk of gear failure and missed dives
We all go through this in our dive career. You have to sit out a dive because of gear failure. The reality is that most of this is preventable with proper maintenance and planning. The first part in the process is to understand what maintenance your gear requires. The second part is thorough preparation before going on a dive and thirdly to have a well stocked Save A Dive Kit for unforeseen circumstances.
One of the most exciting things about diving in BC waters is finding octopus. I think that they are on everybody’s wish list of underwater critters to spot during a dive. The question is how to find them. With a body that allows them to squeeze into any crack in a wall, they could be anywhere. I have found them in car tires, bottles, once even in a discarded fin foot pocket.
In some places in BC “around the Port Hardy region” you can find them just in the open. It is still hard to spot them as they are masters of camouflage. You just look for boulders that are not boulders. They move in a rhythmic pattern as they move water through their blow holes to breath.
What causes bad visibility?
In the waters around the BC coast there are a couple of factors that can cause bad Vis for divers. The most common ones are weather/large tidal exchange, silt miners and the dreaded summer phytoplankton bloom.
