Scuba Diving in British Columbia, Canada

Dive Site: Fearney Bluffs

Location: Pender Harbour, Sunshine Coast

The Fearney Bluffs dive site, situated about 20 minutes North-west by boat from the splendid Pender Harbour on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, is another 'Must-do' BC dive. This dive site is close to another great Sunshine Coast dive site - the Skookumchuck (Sechelt) Rapids.

The beauty of the Fearney Bluffs world-class, 280 foot, vertical wall dive site begins above the surface, with a beautiful wall that falls straight down into the sea. Visibility is generally between 60 feet to 80+ feet at this location, and the colorful marine life is absolutely beautiful.

As you descend down this sponge covered wall, you can initially expect to see lots of white anemones, sponges and starfish blanketing the wall.

As with most of our dive sites, the further down you go the more and the bigger the marine life gets!

You will also see various colored anemones, giant cloud sponges, chimney sponges, corals, the occasional octopus, loads of cod and other types of rockfish, seapens, crabs, swimming scallops, rock scallops, nudibranch, and much, much more.

And the currents aren't generally that bad either (but always check with the local dive shop for current conditions).
