Barkley Sound

Barkley Sound ranks 4th on the list of the best dive sites in Canada. Barkley Sound is also a diving destination in British Columbia that is home to large and spectacular aquatic species such as Pacific Octopus, starfish, and sixgill sharks, among others. The sheer size of the beasts will take your breath away. Scuba divers and photographers flock to this location because the marine life and beauty under the surface of the Pacific Ocean are breathtaking.

You may also see wolf Eels, sea lions, harbor seals, and other animals on Renate's reef. Every single one of the species is incredibly lovely. If you are a certified diver, you must go to Barkley Sound in British Columbia, as it is home to the most humpback whales. Hornby Rocks is another very memorable local dive. In the mouth of Barkley Sound, guides joke about the next stop is Japan but they are not wrong, this is a very open but shallow spot but the seabed here is covered with brilliant orange anemones, yellow sponge, and fish.
