Nakwakto Rapids - For Those Who Dare
And any dive site worthy of a listing in the Guinness Book of World Records is worthy of a write-up on our web site! But unless you are a very advanced to an expert diver, you'll just have to read about this ultimate dive, since the Nakwakto Rapids can be one of the most challenging dive sites in British Columbia. If you are experienced enough, you'll also need to book with the best Port Hardy scuba charter operator - Browning Pass Hideaway, since there are only special circumstances when it is safe to do this dive.
It describes diving the Nakwakto Rapids far better than I could: It is a .pdf article courtesy of John Rawlings, Chief Staff Writer/Photographer for Advanced Diver Magazine, and is entitled Cauldron of the North. OK, so you've read the article and like me you'd love to try this dive – let’s jump in and dive!? Are we nuts? On the home page we did ask if you wanted a more challenging dive? If you think an area with such a strong current would be stripped bare of marine life, think again.
A quote from a diver who submitted a dive review for this area states "Fantastic diving, as good or better than any warm water destination. Walls so full of life that you can not touch a finger down for fear of touching something. Color, Color and more color." It is so hard to initially list only three best dive sites for each area since there are so many. And more will get added as this site grows. Whether you experience these dives or experience other amazing sites is dependent on your level of experience, the weather and tide conditions, and the operator you choose to book with.
