Where Are We Going?

Egmont BC is right at the mouth of the Sechelt Inlet on the Sunshine Coast. Unlike the calm waters that the Tuwanek Shore dive offers, the boat dives at Egmont have enough current from the ocean to give the dive sites incredibly rich marine life. We will be staying at Porpoise Bay Resort for 2 nights so we can have 3 days of amazing diving.

There is so much to see in the fjord of the Sechelt Inlet and Agamemnon channel. We will see thousands of feather stars, sponges, Crimson Anemones, giant pacific octopus, wolf eels, nudibranchs, and even have a chance to see the Gorgonian Fan corals at the Powerlines Dive site!

Protecting our Wildlife:

At Diving Sports, we are passionate about diving in an environmentally responsible way. All divers will strictly be following the "look, don't touch" rule, otherwise they will be asked to exit the water and remain on the boat for the second dive.

Commitment to Safety and Enjoyment

At Diving Sports we believe in making sure all our divers (Scuba and Freedivers) receive the best possible experience while maintaining a high standard for safety, both for the divers, the guide, and the environment we are visiting. Our dive guides have many years of experience diving locally in cold water. All Dive guides are trained in first aid and oxygen delivery. First Aid kits and DAN Oxygen Kits are present on all trips and courses. Dive sites or dive plans may be changed due to weather conditions or experience level of the group, as well as anyone not adhering to proper dive practices will politely be asked to adapt to better interact with the underwater environment.
