Don't know them. Who runs the operation, if I may ask?

I take my boat up your way frequently and I'm always looking for people to dive with. The best part is I only expect some gas money. I'll be home in March so your more then welcome to come along with me.

So do you have O2 fills, peanut butter pie and a sheltered area to gear up in too?

I have all that, might have to bring your own pie. I'm not in it for the money as of yet. So for a few bucks (gas money) you can get a couple dives with somewhere warm and dry to sit on you SI. Probably by Sep I'll be starting my own charter/instruction business. I can take up four divers out and I'm only looking at covering my cost right now.

I'm guessing your location is bit out of date. It's a long haul from Halifax, NS to Ladysmith, BC.

I'm in the military and in Halifax until 17 Mar. Victoria is my home port.

By the way, on Diver's Choice you actually gear up inside. You only go outside to put on your fins and stage and jump in. Coming back on board you come up the ladder and walk inside. I don't think I've ever seen that on another boat. On those cold winter days with a 10 knot wind, it's a great feature.

But it costs more than just gas.

Yeah its a very nice boat, been on it a couple of times. I not trying to put anybody out of business I think Vancouver Island can easily sustain another diver charter operator.

Any one of you get in touch if planning any trips in or near the South East Asian tropics (ie. see my http://www.rebreatherworld.com/rebre...buddy-ies.html post )?

I often pass through Vancouver on my periodic visits to my family in Saskatchewan. I would love to spend some time some day checking out the West coast (and earn some dry-suit hours).

Have very thin skin after 6 years in the tropics.

You are welcome to join us any time. Sensore330 and I are avid West Coast Rebreather divers and have a few very special spots we would share.
