Tofino is a slice of Paradise, you're going to love it! I didn't get a
chance to dive there but there's a good dive shop right on the waterfront
downtown. Lots to see, although there will be a current. Plenty of
wildlife, quite scenic. Bring plenty of film and I do mean plenty.

An old friend owns a lovely BB right on Chesterman's Beach: www.solwood.com
tell her Skip says hi if you stay there.

Port Alberni is far inland; I don't know how good the diving would be there.

One of my best diving experiences was diving the west coast of Vancouver
Island on a live-aboard: "Nautilus Explorer". Diving just about anywhere
in the Pacific North West, including all of Georgia, Johnson and/or
Juan-de-Fuca Straights, and you can't go wrong!

Hello,

we plan our next dive trip to Canada, BC. We did some dives there in
2003, but we still want more. I have a lot of information, books and
links about this area, but I did not find much about diving at Tofino,
Port Alberni or Ucluelet.

Any recommendations?

Thanks a lot
