Port Hardy, British Columbia, offers an unforgettable diving experience, revealing a rich underwater realm brimming with life. Renowned for its exceptionally clear waters, divers are treated to a vibrant spectrum of colors showcased by diverse marine inhabitants, including playful sea lions, awe-inspiring orcas, and intricate corals and sponges carpeting the seabed. The area's distinctive topography, featuring dramatic drop-offs and enigmatic caverns, provides a breathtaking setting for underwater exploration. The nutrient-rich Pacific waters sustain a thriving ecosystem, ensuring each dive presents an opportunity for unique encounters, from elusive nudibranchs to shimmering schools of fish. The profound sense of peace and connection with nature experienced while diving in Port Hardy is unparalleled, establishing it as a prime destination for divers globally.

The sheer abundance of marine life in Port Hardy is astounding. It is an essential destination for anyone with a drysuit. Port Hardy consistently delivers memorable experiences both above and below the water's surface.

Our trips to Browning Pass, spanning three days, offer access to some of the planet's finest cold water diving. Explore walls flourishing with vibrant cold water corals and macro life, encounter massive schools of fish, observe numerous fascinating jellies, and ascend through enchanting kelp forests during safety stops.

Notable dive sites encompass Browning Wall, 7 Tree Island, Rock Of Life, 5 Fathom Rock, Fantasy Island, and Berry Island.

While our primary focus is diving, surface intervals in Port Hardy are unparalleled. We seek out Sea Otters, Sea Lions, Humpback Whales, Orcas, and other marine mammals of the Pacific Northwest. We've even had sightings of Mola Mola and Blue Sharks.

For this trip you must have a Dry Suit Diver Specialty and minimum Advanced Open Water due to cold water temps and fast current.
