Comments Great place for advanced divers. Nice setup and great food. If you have food concerns let them know and accomidations will be made. Expect to gain weight. You must bring your own alcohol. The operators met you in Port Hardy the evening before you start your five day dive and deliver you back to Port Hardy the morning after your five days of diving. Dive times are tide dependant as most dives are ebb dives. This is a cold enviroment and a drysuit is the onlly way to go. It is remote so bring your own fixes and spares. The marine life is not adequately discribed in the check boxes above. No tropical fish but lots of bright greenlings and rockfish species, not to mention tons of crabs, sculpins, nudibranchs and so on. Currents are strong so bring your advanced skills. The visibility is great. The resort and diving are hard to get to but the experience is truly world class.
