Mermaid Cove is a wonderful destination with all the campground facilities you'd expect.  Named for a mermaid statue sitting on the bottom at about 15 meters, you'll find a wide variety of sea life lurking nearby.  You will most likely see an octopus or two during your dive!

From the ferry terminal at Saltery Bay, the entrance is less than 1km to the North on 101.

A great dive site, lots to see and just a great dive.

For another remote neighborhood dive, Martin Cove offers plenty to explore.  The beach entry makes this dive suitable for all experience levels

In the Pender Harbor area, 14.8km North of Halfmoon Bay on 101, turn left on Frances Peninsula Road.  Be prepared for a wonderfully winding road!

For something completely different, try the Tuwanek Beach dive.  You'll be swimming in the very protected Sechelt Inlet, just North of the town of Sechelt.  It will be a shallow dive, but worth it for the marine life you may not see elsewhere.  You may notice that you can hear a pin drop in this neighborhood.  Let's keep it that way!

In the town of Sechelt, head North on Wharf Ave or Xenichen.  Turn right on East Porpoise Road, which becomes Sechelt Inlet Road.   Travel for 9.7km until you reach the parking below.

An excellent dive site for the beginner to the pro!

Are you looking for a good beginning dive?  How about an advanced dive?  Coopers Green has it all in the protection of Halfmoon Bay!  Simple entry into the shallows allows easy exploration of the small island just meters off shore.  Beyond that, the depth drops off rapidly.

About 7km North of Schelt on 101 make a left on Redrooffs Road.  Wind your way about 8.5km to the entrance below.

Perfect dive if you like to see wildlife!
