Ucluelet Diving
Barkley Sound is one of the most diverse dive sites in Canada. It has been called "The Graveyard of the Pacific" and the area's history tells us of numerous sunken ships and vessels that got caught up in it's maze of islands and shadows. The ruins of many of these ships are still there to be explored including the Vanlene, a ship carrying a load of new cars that sunk in 1972!
Broken Group Islands Unit of Pacific Rim National Reserve offers a maze of islands, islets, and reefs. Home to a diverse population of fish and plants, these dive sites offer an interesting and colourful experience. Swim among salmon, brightly coloured rockfish, giant octopus, squid, wolf eels, lingcod, sea anenomes and a wide variety of invertebrates. You might even catch a glimpse of a seix gilled shark.
From many different diving points marine mammals can be observed. It is not uncommon to see sea lions, otters, and even gray or humpback whales. Sites vary from relatively easy, for the less experienced or beginner diver, to challenging for the very experienced diver. There are dive guides available for diving from Ucluelet.
