⚠️ Safety & accuracy

Before diving at HMCS Annapolis, always check the site-specific wind/wave forecast, tide/currents, and recent pnwdiving reports (latest: Nov 10, 2024)! Reminder: Winds (even offshore winds) can impact slack time.

Briefings may be out of date or have inaccuracies. Dive within your training and experience. The first time diving a site, join someone familiar with the site and/or start on a mild day.

See our currents, tides, wind, and waves guide for help reading charts and planning current-sensitive dives.
