Scuba Diving in British Columbia, Canada

Dive Site: Nakwakto Rapids

Location: Port Hardy, Vancuver Island

Nakwakto Rapids, located some 320 kilometers (200 miles) northwest of Vancouver in the pristine dive destination waters near Port Hardy and the Queen Charlotte Islands, earned their reputation by having the fastest (around 22 knots) navigable tidal currents in the world.

The bottom is absolutely covered with life, and even includes large groups of rare goose neck barnacles that have scientists scratching their heads….
While this dive is only for highly skilled divers, the waters around Port Hardy offer some of the best dives in the world, for beginners all the way to expert divers.
