The Sunshine Coast of Canada is renowned for some of the best diving in the world, earning praise from Jacques Cousteau and National Geographic. Clear water, varied dive sites, and the opportunity to catch sight of a large octopus or a wolf eel, draw divers to the area. There is also an artificial reef which was created using the wreck of the HMCS Chaudière.

There are diving outfits on the Coast which offer diving charters, guided dives and lessons, and a dive shop in Sechelt will equip you with everything you'll need for your diving experience. In addition, the Sechelt branch of Capilano University offers a Professional Scuba Diver Instructor program.
