Dive Vancouver Island

Enjoy your experience on the island with Sundown Diving. We have been in business for over 22 and have introduced thousands of divers to their first experience of our diverse island waters. We will make your island experience a safe and memorable one. Our dive sites are all only a short boat ride away, allowing us to come in between dives and spend the surface interval relaxing in our heated dockside building or enjoying a bite to eat right at the dock at Nauticals Restaurant. We offer a wide range of dive experiences: wall dives dropping to over 300 feet, drift dives, pinnacles and reefs, as well as shallow water diving and snorkel experiences with the seals. We also have a full service dive facility that can repair all major brands and offer nitrox, argon, oxygen and trimix fills.

We also have some great training sites here for shops looking to run training; from shore dives to wreck training on our 3 sunken artificial reefs. The wreck of the Saskatchewan (a 366 foot ex-Canadian Destroyer escort),  Cape Breton (a 444 foot ex-supply ship), and the Rivtow Lion (originally an ex-British Navy Rescue Tug from World War II). These wrecks were sunk on purpose as artificial reefs and have been made safe for divers. With the right training, equipment and experience they are fully penetrable. Our diversity of marine life has put this area among the top sites to dive in the world. Marine life includes several varieties of anemone, nudibranch, starfish, cucumbers, crabs, octopus, sponges, seaweeds and several species of fish. This rich environment is also home to a variety of marine mammals. Take time out of your hectic schedule to enjoy some relaxing times on our island.
