Scuba DivingCentered in the very heart of British Columbia's sparkling "Emerald Sea", Nanaimo is truly the gateway to the best scuba diving in North America. Scuba divers looking for an unforgettable experience can visit the HMCS Cape Breton or HMCS Saskatchewan. These former Navy Destroyers were sunk in the waters off Nanaimo to create artificial reefs. Divers from all over the world return to Nanaimo again and again to experience the thrill of diving with the curious Giant Pacific Octopus, the friendly Wolf Eel and myriads of large fish species and invertebrate life in our emerald hued temperate waters. The readers of Rodales Scuba Diving chose the coastal waters of Vancouver Island as the "Best North American Dive Destination Overall" with the Healthiest Marine Environment. Enter Nanaimo in your dive logbook as a must see destination!  |
