Diving this past weekend in Howe Sound – absolutely stunning visibility! We had 60-80 ft of vis off the both both Saturday and Sunday! And with the sun so bright I found myself just turning off my dive light.
We had a great group of divers on Sponge Bob on Sunday – waiting for those promised photos and videos from folks who were with us!
Halkett wall was amazing – so much life!! And in the shallow water doing our safety stops, it was like an aquarium.
This weekend….

New Nanaimo Location
April 3, 2013 by · 1 Comment
We’re thrilled to announce our new Sea Dragon Nanaimo location
We have now partnered with The Marinaside Resort – a brand new facility in Nanaimo. With this new location, we can offer the dive boat, the hotel, restaurant, and rooftop patio bar overlooking the harbour, all in the same location! There is even a spa that offer facials and hair styling for the non-divers in the group.
Its a beautiful resort that is offering all Sea Dragon customers about 25-30% off rack rates! With this discount, you can stay in luxury suites with full kitchen, washer & driers, balconies overlooking the water, for about the same price as a regular hotel.
Check it out at www.themarinasideresort.com. Lots of weekends still open for the Nanaimo boat.
Vancouverites – Instead of coming over for just the day – make a weekend out of it and dive both days! Much more relaxing!
For further information get in touch with us, we can forward the contract hotel rates.
Sponge Bob Dive March 23

Due to overwhelming response! We have now added a second “Sponge Bob” dive for Saturday March 23! Sunday March 24 for Sponge Bob is now full!
“Sponge Bob” (aka Halkett Pinnacle) is a fantastic dive for skilled advanced divers as the dive includes open water decent onto a pinnacle within an area of high current and boat traffic.
The pinnacle top is at about 75 feet and drops down from there. The site has amazing sponge coverage and requires divers to have excellent buoyancy skills in order to maintain this pristine natural site. As long as weather conditions are good, the tides look favorable for being able to do this dive comfortably this coming Saturday and Sunday.
Definitely a great dive, and well worth repeating even if you have been fortunate enough to dive it already. Please make sure you have along a personal surface marker for your safety stop and assent as you will be coming up in open water.
Easter 2013

Sunday, March 31st – Easter Egg HUNT dive!
For divers who like a bit of change and a friendly “challenge”, come out on Easter Sunday to search underwater for one of many strategically placed “Easter eggs”. Exchange your egg on the boat for prizes (toques, hats, t-shirts, etc.), or find the one GRAND PRIZE “EGG” and win a certificate for a day of diving from Seadragon Charters (valid on Topline in Howe Sound or on the Seadragon in Nanaimo).
There will be candies and treats and plentiful “runner-up” prizes (something for every diver), so come on out and enjoy the festivities. It’ll bound to be a great day.
Note that no “eggs” will be hidden deeper than 60 feet and none will require any removing or lifting of items underwater. You only need a dive-light decent navigation skills and a keen eye for success doing this fun “hunt”.
Open to divers of all skill and experience levels.

Specialized Technical Dive
March 1, 2013 by · Leave a Comment
We had the pleasure of hosting a group of technical divers recently on Topline.
The Topline was involved in transporting divers, photographers, film crews, and media from Diver Magazine and the Vancouver Sun to a special site in Howe Sound that is covered in glass sponge.
Divers went over 210 feet of depth to the top of an amazing cloud sponge bioherm. (Like Sponge Bob on steroids!). Glen Denison also brought his boat out with more divers.
Thanks to everyone for a great day.
