Porteau Cove Provincial Park

Porteau Cove Provincial Park in British Columbia is an advanced dive site in Howe Sound featuring purposely sunk vessels and artificial reef structures. The park's underwater attractions include a sunken minesweeper, a sailboat, and concrete reef structures at various depths reaching well beyond 30 meters. Giant Pacific octopus, lingcod, rockfish of numerous species, and wolf eels inhabit the artificial reefs. The kelp-fringed shore leads to dramatic depth changes where cloud sponges can be found in the deeper zones. The park's excellent shore facilities, protected marine environment, and diverse marine life make it one of British Columbia's premier dive destinations.
