Porteau Cove should be renamed Diver's Paradise! The park system went all out to make this an appealing marine park for all levels of divers. Easy entry, marine life, marked wrecks, and a stair-side shower for your return make this site a two-tanker! Directions: Heading North from Horseshoe Bay, after about 23km, you'll see the park on your left. - Shore Diving

This is a good place for clean up dives, there are also some tree stumps with unique roots that are interesting to see. There is no cell phone reception at this lake.

Arbutus Point sits north of Piers Island and then just west. This is an advanced dive site due to the cold water and potentially strong currents.

Arachne Reef is an advanced dive site that sits between Swartz Bay and Turn Point Lighthouse on the British Columbia side. There are moderate to heavy currents here.

Sheep Island is a wall that can be considered advanced; it goes hundreds of feet deep. As with most of the Gulf Islands the strong currents and nutrient upwellings brings a tremendous amount of life to the surface.

This is an advanced boat dive with depths to 110 feet. Domville Island is usually done as a drift dive. We drop you in at one of the protected coves either on the north or south of the island and once you and your buddy are ready, you will swim out into the current.
