Take a Dive trip with ADT  

Dive God's Pocket, British Columbia

Experience the expansive stands of bull kelp leading to walls covered with purple stars, plumose anemones, medusa jellies, and dancing scallops. Explore overhangs dripping with multicolored invertebrates. Now you can understand why it is referred to as God's Pocket! 4 days of world class diving for only $1895 plus the transportation to BC deposit of $700 required now to save your space balance of the fees are due by April 1, 2011 rates are based on double occupancy.

Most dives range 45-55 minutes in duration. Viz is 40-100 ft and the water and air temps are 55-60 degrees F. Dry suits are highly recommended. Once the kaleidoscope of the BC seascape appears in your mask, there is no questioning why divers brave the tides, currents and temps! This trip offer offers some of the best cold water diving on the planet. From fields of strawberry anemones and clusters of crimson lipped gooseneck barnacles. Look closely and don’t miss the colorful sculpins, giant nudibranchs, sunflower and basket stars and cephalopods galore. Visit Browning Wall, Dillon Rock and Seven Trees. Browning Wall’s sheer rock face plunges to a dizzy 300 feet or the small island of Seven Trees offers a current dive. These vertical walls are covered with delicate soft corals, sponges and anemones in brilliant colors rivaling any South Pacific reef. Fish residents are Irish lords with war bonnets adorned, China rockfish, 5-foot ling cods and more. Dillon Rock, a pinnacle with a 60-foot bottom that houses a den of wolf eels. Maybe the ugliest, yet friendliest mugs in the sea. These critters are really fish, not true eels. These guys leave the safe haven of their grotto to brazenly beg for bits of sea urchin, peering into your mask and harmlessly wrapping their 6-foot-long bodies around you. Oh yes, can you say, Octos! *dive sites are subject to weather and ocean conditions. The trip is not limited to just ocean activities. Topside offers the bonus of pelagic marine life. Take advantage of the kayaks. As we travel along the fir-studded shoreline on the 40’ day boat, threading through a maze of small islands, listen for the excited cry, “Orcas spray off the port side!” Keep look out for dolphins riding the bow wake. Bring your binoculars and cameras. Keep watch for the bald eagles in the treetops or the forging bears along the shore. Enjoy hikes on the beach for shelling or strolls through the rainforests. BC diving is worth every minute of planning. While no single description would do justice to the incredible and diverse diving this region offers. The common thread is powerful water, explosive colors and inhabitants larger than life. So why put it off another minute? This trip fills up fast.
