Scuba Diving in British Columbia, Canada

Dive Site: Kelvin Grove

Location:

Kelvin Grove is another favorite dive site near Vancouver, British Columbia. It used to be a favorite shore dive site until the nearby Lions Bay residents got tired of having divers and their vehicles in the neighborhood, so new parking regulations were enacted which made it near impossible to easily get to the site.

This is generally a site for Advanced divers and beyond, because of the depth, occasional currents, chance of poor visibility in summer and overhead boat traffic.
There are two wall dives here to explore, with a maximum depth of around 28 meters (90 feet) and loads of marine life.

Looking around the area, you can find pink short spined stars, sunflower stars, tube worms, cloud sponges, chimney sponges, yellow boring sponges, shrimp & prawns, various rockfish, lingcod, painted and kelp greenlings, red and green urchins, slippered and California cucumbers, sea peaches, chitons, decorator and umbrella crabs, vermillion and slime starfish, kelp-encrusting bryozoans, wolf eels, red brotulas, clams, and several octopus dens.
