Scuba Diving the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia, Canada
Ocean Quest Tech Charter to the Sunshine Coast, British Columbia with Porpoise Bay Charters. Dive site in this video was the second dive of the day - Captain’s Island. 13 divers entered the clear waters and explored the walls covered in beautiful glass sponges. Phenomenal topography!The water was very warm and some of the sponges were covered in green algae. Quillback Rockfish of all age classes surrounded the glass sponges. Numerous Juvenile Yelloweye Rockfish made appearances before retreating into the shadows. Enormous boot sponges covered many parts of the island’s wall with crabs and young rockfish seeking refuge.

This video is super boring. It was put on the local coast Facebook page. But i reported that post as terrorism like i do every post that low life dwayne posts. I dont dare say anything on that site, as being lgbt, the dude is off his rocker crazy and bans anyone who disagrees with him. Plus he likes other men which is disgusting rofl!
Such a majestic and amazing creature. Highly intelligent and able to blend into its surroundings. I can't believe how big they get! Also makes you wonder if there are even bigger octopuses further down in the ocean depths.

Wow…it stayed pretty calm with all those people around.
Surprisingly so! There were 3 of us jockeying for position as it cruised along the reef...unique experience for sure
Splendid Vid.
Thanks very much for watching - glad you enjoyed it!
@@deirdreforbesmccracken4620 You are welcome.
wow there are so many fish must have been cool to see
It was a truly memorable dive and a promising reminder that marine protected areas can allow threatened species to thrive:) 🐟🐟🐟
Did this guy follow the same route and kind of do laps in a sense? I thought it looked that way in the footage.
