What Makes Howe Sound So Special?

Howe Sound UNESCO Biosphere reserve is the southern most fjord in North America. Enveloped by towering peaks that rise directly from the sea, Howe Sound serves as Vancouver’s haven for Diving. Discover stunning marine life, sponge gardens, walls, reefs, pinnacles, rock overhangs, artificial reefs and ship wrecks.

Exploring by boat opens the door to many different dive sites not accessible by land, and often with better visibility.
