Experience Premier Scuba Diving and Freediving Adventures in the Famous Howe Sound Biosphere Reserve


Dive into the crystal-clear waters of Howe Sound, North America’s southernmost fjord, where towering mountain peaks rise dramatically from the sea. This region serves as a premier playground for underwater exploration, offering certified divers access to a variety of unique marine environments. From intricate sponge bioherms and vertical walls to vibrant reefs and pinnacles, the underwater topography is truly world-class. The highlight for many is the famous HMCS Annapolis, an artificial reef that attracts a wealth of marine life.


Our diving excursions utilize a custom-built 30-foot aluminum boat, specifically engineered for the needs of divers with dual outboards, two diving ladders, and a convenient marine toilet. The vessel is fully covered to protect guests from the elements, ensuring comfort between dives. By limiting each trip to a maximum of eight divers, we provide a semi-private experience that allows for personalized attention from our PADI professionals, who are always on board to assist with your diving needs.


Safety and professionalism are the cornerstones of our operation, with all captains and crew members holding Transport Canada certifications. We welcome divers of all certification levels and offer a comprehensive range of high-quality gear rentals for those who do not have their own equipment. Boat-based diving significantly enhances your experience by providing access to remote, pristine dive sites where visibility is consistently superior, allowing you to explore the hidden treasures of the Pacific Northwest coastline with ease.


Whether you are interested in exploring rocky overhangs or documenting the diverse marine species that inhabit the artificial reef, our guided trips offer the perfect balance of adventure and support. The small group size ensures that you spend more time in the water and less time waiting, making every dive feel like a private charter. Join us for an exhilarating day of exploration in one of the most beautiful and biodiverse marine environments in all of British Columbia.

This past weekend in Connemara was one of the best experiences of my life so far. Everything about the course was just perfect. The material, the equipment, the energy and environment, and most importantly the people! Daithí is a legend, very professional and a great teacher. I’m already planning to do AIDA 3. 10/10

Great experience! I completed the AIDA Level 1 in Killary Fjord and it was an incredible experience. Daithi is an excellent instructor that brings calmness and common sense during the dives. I progressed a lot in just a day! I am looking forward to keep progressing with Freediving Ireland

Totally surreal 5 days in Italy.. If you want to try Freediving, improve get AIDA Freediving certifications. Daithí is the man in Ireland to contact. He is based out of Dublin but has trips abroad to Y-40, Egypt and others. A very holistic approach to the sport of Freediving. He combines his vast knowledge of Apnea and creates a totally unique vibe only created from someone so passionate. Daithí explains exactly how you can hold your breath, dive to depths you never imagined you could all while gently guiding you out of your comfort zone. Highly recommend!
