Eagle Island

Eagle Island is also affectionately known by the proprietor of the local dive shop as Ewok Island due to its remarkable likeness (above water) to the forests where the Ewoks from Star Wars live. This dive site is notorious for having very strong currents. It is precisely this reason that makes it a good drift diving spot. The underwater biology largely consists of large white sea anemones coupled with a myriad of fish species, various crustaceans and the odd seal. This site can only be accessed by boat (or floatplane). The only local dive centre; Ocean Planet Adventures Tofino, is a company that will take divers to this site via dive boat. Eagle Island is also known as Ewok Island.
