Dive report for 10/14/22
Visibility: 40+ feet, 15-20 feet in the shallows
Two dives here, amazing wall dive and shore accessible. Highlights of the 2 dives: 6 small yelloweye rockfish, 3 tigers, 7 decorated warbonnets (6 sitting in boot sponges), massive cloud sponges @ 120ft, pink hydrocoral, grey puffball sponges, yellow branching sponges, wall covered in plumose and crimson anemones. The main part of the wall isn't too long, could easily cover it a few times with scooter. Couldn't see the bottom of the main section from 120ft deep. Also my first time seeing cookie sea stars.

This sounds amazing, are you on a solo shore diving tour? Where do you stay around there? Presumably this was on a high tide or something (SBE?)
...See MoreHow are you getting so deep? Extra tanks, CCR? Do you have a DPV?
...See MoreWanted to hit the best shore dives around Nanaimo. Orlebar not super slack dependent, but recommended to dive near high tide for less current and easier entry. There was a mild current dive 1 and not much at all dive 2. I had dpv + big steel tanks.
