Inside the sheltered cove over a sandy bottom 15 to 40 feet deep, kelp and boulders provide habitats for shrimp, bulgy-eyed flatfish and blackeye gobies. Diving after sunset increases the odds of seeing nocturnally active sailfin sculpins, midshipman fish, giant Pacific octopuses and, in winter, stubby squid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Divers of all stripes flock to Whytecliff Park, which in 1993 became Canada\u2019s first saltwater marine protected area. This perennial favorite is busy year-round. New divers mingle in the shallows for open-water certification classes. Techies tricked out with rebreathers stealthily swim 10 minutes around the point to&nbsp;<strong>El corte<\/strong>&nbsp;o directamente al&nbsp;<strong>Marcador de d\u00eda<\/strong>to drop over the sheer wall. There\u2019s also a third dive at&nbsp;<strong>Islote Whyte<\/strong>&nbsp;to the left. Some people swing by the park after work \u2014 dedicated divers will drive an hour from the crush of Vancouver city \u2014 to celebrate a serene happy hour with the fishes; others make a weekend of it, bringing a six-pack of cylinders. The park has restrooms, free parking, a rinse station and even a caf\u00e9. Air fills and gear are available from the dive shop in the nearby idyllic village of Horseshoe Bay. Whytecliff is shore-entry only. A garden cart is helpful to lug heavy gear between the parking lot and the beach below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-sea-to-sky-highway\"><strong>Autopista del Mar al Cielo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"256\" height=\"377\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-red-irish-lord-emsurrounded-by-plumose-anemones.jpg\" alt=\"Un lord irland\u00e9s rojo \" class=\"wp-image-25199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-red-irish-lord-emsurrounded-by-plumose-anemones.jpg 256w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-red-irish-lord-emsurrounded-by-plumose-anemones-244x360.jpg 244w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-red-irish-lord-emsurrounded-by-plumose-anemones-8x12.jpg 8w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Un lord irland\u00e9s rojo (Hemilepidotus hemilepidotus) est\u00e1 rodeado de an\u00e9monas plumosas (Metridium senile).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Los lugare\u00f1os m\u00e1s avispados tambi\u00e9n trabajan sobre ruedas en&nbsp;<strong>Kelvin Grove<\/strong>en la Bah\u00eda de los Leones, transportando sus equipos de submarinismo en carros o carretillas de mano del autom\u00f3vil al oc\u00e9ano.

Las boyas de superficie marcan las principales atracciones, como el&nbsp;<em>Centenario III<\/em>&nbsp;y la draga de 92 pies<em>&nbsp;Granthall<\/em>un remolcador de acero reconvertido posteriormente en empacador de arenques. Bajo su popa, an\u00e9monas plumosas de un metro de altura cuelgan como elegantes lirios de Pascua invertidos o luminosas l\u00e1mparas de ara\u00f1a vivientes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Porteau Cove is an excellent place to practice underwater navigation while moving from feature to feature. Visibility is sometimes low, but modest depths ranging from 25 to 50 feet and the plethora of artificial reef structures deliver extra bottom-time enjoyment. But if the wind is blowing 15 knots or more \u2014 especially from the west or north \u2014 knowledgeable divers will postpone Porteau until a calmer day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-heart-of-the-fjord\"><strong>Coraz\u00f3n del fiordo<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Los submarinistas necesitan un barco para ver todo lo que ofrece Howe Sound.

It takes many tanks to explore the mammoth wreck from bow to stern. It rests upright in the sand at 110 feet, but much of its structure is between 50 and 80 feet, with everything meticulously prepared for diver safety. There are no entanglement hazards, the hull and decks have numerous entry and exit holes, and there are three buoyed descent and ascent lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-giant-pacific-octopus-moves-across-a-kelp-covered-bottom.jpg\" alt=\"Un pulpo gigante del Pac\u00edfico\" class=\"wp-image-25201\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-giant-pacific-octopus-moves-across-a-kelp-covered-bottom.jpg 800w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-giant-pacific-octopus-moves-across-a-kelp-covered-bottom-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-giant-pacific-octopus-moves-across-a-kelp-covered-bottom-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/world.dan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/a-giant-pacific-octopus-moves-across-a-kelp-covered-bottom-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Un pulpo gigante del Pac\u00edfico (Enteroctopus dofleini) se desplaza por un fondo cubierto de algas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>El Pin\u00e1culo<\/strong>&nbsp;off Bowyer Island\u2019s north side is also a memorable experience top to bottom, but of the rock variety. Also called Wedding Cake, the site offers a range of profiles so divers can choose one appropriate to their skill level. The pinnacle\u2019s tip peaks at only 15 feet below the waves, and deeper tiers fall away below. The layers of life include the usual profusion of anemones plus zoanthids, numerous crab species, giant nudibranchs and fish large and small, from lunker lings and wolf eels to tiny gruntlings.

The waters can get moving at&nbsp;<strong>Dragon\u2019s Den<\/strong>, but it\u2019s often just a surface current, and sometimes there\u2019s flow at depth. Experienced captains and divemasters assess the conditions and then thoroughly brief divers before opening the back deck. Once submerged, divers should carefully monitor and manage gas supply, time and depth and be ready to adapt to changing conditions. At this sometimes challenging, always exhilarating advanced location, stunning topography is the ticket. The wall angles back on itself, tilting past vertical to create magnificent overhangs with curtains of ghostly plumose anemones. For divers hovering in the shadowy void of these cavernlike recesses loaded with sea life but lacking a bottom, the view is a mindbender not soon forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visite la p\u00e1gina de&nbsp;<strong>Pam Rocks<\/strong>&nbsp;para un cambio de ritmo y encuentros con la carism\u00e1tica megafauna.

The inland waters are sheltered from the open Pacific Ocean\u2019s storms and swells, but strong winds can funnel through the fjord. Sea surface conditions vary from flat to rough and white-capped. There is always a protected spot somewhere to dive. Ocean temperatures usually hover in the mid-40\u00b0F range at depth and up to 52\u00b0F at the surface. Thermoclines and freshwater layers may be present, especially after heavy rains and snowmelt in the interior. Drysuits allow you to customize undergarment thickness to your thermal tolerance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La claridad del agua suele ser mejor a finales de oto\u00f1o e invierno, cuando la visibilidad suele oscilar entre los 25 y 75 pies. Las floraciones de plancton pueden reducir la visibilidad en primavera y verano, pero los buceadores pueden encontrar una mayor claridad del agua bajo una capa superficial turbia. En algunos lugares hay corriente, por lo que los buceadores deben tener cuidado y bucear preferentemente con marea alta o baja. En general, sin embargo, en Howe Sound no es necesario bucear con marea baja, como en muchos otros lugares de la Columbia Brit\u00e1nica. El tiempo por encima de las olas var\u00eda mucho, de soleado y c\u00e1lido a fresco, lluvioso y ventoso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With a full gamut of dive sites \u2014 deep walls, shallow bays, muck dives, shipwrecks, seamounts and pinnacles \u2014 there are spots suitable for divers of all skill levels and interests.
