Vancouver
Discover the "Emerald Sea" with a dive into the nutrient-rich, temperate waters of Vancouver, Canada. This unique urban diving destination is celebrated for its incredible biodiversity, particularly its vibrant invertebrate life. The underwater landscape is a dramatic mix of sheer walls, rocky reefs, and fascinating artificial reefs, all teeming with colour. It offers a world-class cold-water diving experience renowned for giant pacific octopus, wolf eels, and dense colonies of anemones, just minutes from a bustling metropolis.
Diving here is a year-round activity, though it requires proper exposure protection like a drysuit due to consistently cold water. The best visibility is found during the winter months when the water clears. Despite the chill, divers are rewarded with some of the most unique and colourful marine life in the world. The combination of easy access, challenging sites for all skill levels, and stunning underwater scenery makes Vancouver a must-visit destination for any adventurous diver.
