Since then, numerous articles in dive magazines and good old word of mouth have turned Campbell River and neighbouring Quadra Island into true diving destinations. What's the secret? Strong tidal currents. They provide food for the abundant, unique marine life that simply can't survive anywhere else. Visibility in this high-current eco-system rarely drops below 30 feet due to constant upwellings of clear water. Summertime plankton blooms only occur in the top 30-40 feet and are quickly diluted by these upwellings. This 30 foot-plus visibility is excellent for British Columbia in the summer, and in spring, fall, and winter the water is beautifully clear. Combine this with protected inside waters, mild weather, and you have the perfect spot for a British Columbia diving adventure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fc8431cc6fac36652edfe9b/1608147045194-G6DJ1TQG1QEV5K7YHTHY/Earl-Lowe-of-Abyssal-Diving-Charters Abyssal Diving Charters - YOUR HOST Earl Lowe has been operating diving charters out of Campbell River since 1995.
