Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Porteau Cove
Porteau Cove should be renamed Diver's Paradise! The park system went all out to make this an appealing marine park for all levels of divers. Easy entry, marine life, marked wrecks, and a stair-side shower for your return make this site a two-tanker!
Heading North from Horseshoe Bay, after about 23km, you'll see the park on your left.

Very easy to get to, parking is $5 for the day. Facilities for changing and washrooms. Entry is via a set of stairs onto shallow gravel bottom. Quite a swim out to even the closer wrecks. Horrible visibility - less than 4 feet! The algae bloom has started. Other than that, certainly the site has potential, but in our dive to 50' we did not find much to enjoy! Anemones and sea stars galore, if only you could see them from more than 3' away.... will have to come back next winter!
