British Columbia

Dive expedition to Hurst Island

Situated on the Pacific coast, British Columbia is without doubt one of the most beautiful provinces of Canada. The presence of temperate forests serves as a refuge for numerous wild life and the waters teem with an abundance of marine life. For our discovery we have selected the wild islet of Hurst Island and the fabulous private lodge "God's Pocket" as our departure point.

In cool clear waters (7 to 9°) even the most experienced diver will appreciate the spectacle: kelp forests and fields of anemones shelter giant pacific octopuses (Enteroctopus dofleini), spotted wolf fish (Anarhichas Minor), seals, lords and schools of ocean perch. On the surface, it is not rare to observe schools of orcas and porpoises. Otters and grey whales can also be seen. In addition, for lovers of small fauna, an impressive collection of nudibranches, crabs, shrimps and other invertebrates evolve amongst sponges and soft corals.

This exceptional voyage gifts us the discovery of a beautiful ocean area outside of the more popular tropical zones.
