Thank you Rob. I was on Inspo Classic course in Comox Valley with Bill Coltart of Pacific Pro Dive in May 2005. Fascinating diving with very good visibility.
Despite few glitches in first couple of dives, I was really impressed with what I saw. Take a small octopus on you hands, and poor creature was not running away, was something I normally would not expect. And last course's dive on Capelano wreck at 126 feet with vis 30-40 m was very something special.
Was so impressed that at the end of the week, after my course was over and my wife flew over to join me for long weekend, we managed to buy a property north of Nanaimo. Diving around Vancouver Island is incredible and gives all type of opportunities from shore diving to deep wrecks, fantastic walls eta, do not mention the Island itself.
You know more about that. I will be more then happy to get more introduction to VI diving. Unfortunately, it might take me quite few month
before we finally move there.

I"ll send you PM and, if you want, drop me you contact info.

Best regards,
Nick

PS My course started on Friday, May 13 Woooo.....
