#1 - Bear Cove
Canada, British Columbia, Vancouver Island
This location should really be done as a night dive, in order to avoid the problem of boat traffic. Other than that, this is one of the easiest places to get in and out of the water.
This dive site is even wheel chair accessible. Due to the fact this is really a boat launch. Just follow the Island Highway to Port Hardy, and take the turn off for the Bear Cove Highway to the B.C. Government Ferry Terminal. Also known as the Port Hardy-Bella Coola / Discovery Coast
Passage Ferry. The boat launch is near the ferry terminal.
Bear Cove is also known as Bear Cove Boat Launch.
#2 - Port McNeill
Canada, British Columbia, Vancouver Island
This site was more popular in the past when the pier existed. But there is still enough life here, to make it worth while.
This dive site is located where the old pier used to be near the east end of Mine Road. In Google Maps a pier is still shown, but it was taken down years ago. However, some of the debris remains below the water and provides homes for life. The beach access is located beside a set of industrial buildings that are still in use, and a gravel area at the north end is where the beach access is.
Port McNeill is also known as Mine Road Beach.
