Campbell River and Dodd's Narrows April 2022
Posted: Tue Apr 19, 2022 6:41 pm
Hi
A group of us went up to dive Campbell River April 8-10, with Abyssal Dive Charters. We had 40+ feet of viz and the best tides of the year to enjoy it. The diving's just so much fun up there, check it out! (tell them Eric and Scuba Jess sent you!)
On the way home, we checked out Dodd's Narrows near Nanaimo. This is a Deception Pass like site in that area. The point on the wall is smothered in painted anemones. Unfortunately, our charter (NDO) wasn't experienced with the site, so some people were mislead on how to properly navigate the site. Also, there was a herring spawn so the viz was very poor. That's twice we've been skunked with poor viz at this site due to the herring spawn! Still a fun time was had and we'll have to go back!
Here were some of my snaps:
