Vancouver Island Rebreather Divers

diverrob · 31st May 2008, 02:04

I am interested in finding out who is diving Rebreather on Vancouver Island. I know of a few, just want to see how many others are lurking around and where you are. I am in Victoria and get out most weekends to either the Gulf Islands or Saanich Inlet, I am always looking for new places to splash so feel free to let me know if you have a special spot that I may not know of. Thanks

Come on up, we have a good group of Rebreather divers and get out often. The south Island is out back yard but we get around all over the island as well.

There are three that I know personally diving out of Nanaimo. We tend to dive quite a bit in the Parksville area.

Yes but you and wreckseeker probably want to move and retire to Thailand now.

Buy the way did Bruce not tell you that you can hire someone to carry all your equipment and fan away the bugs for $20 a day. I keep telling him to stop doing that to the new guys its bad for future business.

Let me quote Jamie Mac, "Brucie's marks are spot on!" We had one hell of a great trip. I will post a trip report (at least what is postable) when I get home in a couple of days.

Look at this thread. We're trying to get out diving with the area rebreather divers. There was room on both trips the last I heard.
