Scuba
Charters
Go Deep Dive Adventures specializes in private, personalized
Scuba Adventures and Ocean Tours. It’s your holiday
so let
us pack your gear and look after you as your comfort is important to
us. We are very flexible; we can start the day when it is
convenient for you, and the boat is yours for the day. The
“Sea-Deuce”, our 18ft. custom rebuilt dive boat, is
designed for comfort and speed; she handles 2 divers or 3
guests.
Whether it’s a day of exploring the depths of the Pacific, or
a
relaxing tour above the surface, we’ve got it all on your
West
Coast experience. You never know what you might see on one of
our
charters; from Seals and Sea Lions, to Orcas and Octopus. On
the
surface look for Eagles and Turkey Vulchers soaring over the rugged
Pacific coastline. With every adventure we provide 4 tanks,
weights, and a great lunch. Safety is important; there is
Emergency Oxygen, First Aid, and a PADI Instructor on
board. We offer plenty of great dive sites around
Sidney
and the Gulf Islands.
We are planning inclusive Scuba packages to Baja, Mexico this coming
fall (Nov-Dec).

escort from 1962-72, then a training ship for the next twenty
years. Canadian designed and built, she is an impressive 366
feet
long (111 meters) and weighs 2900 tons. The Artificial Reef Society
sunk her on September 16, 1995 after many months of
