Since I'm not certified yet, but will be by the end of the fall (), and Michelle might still be in *drysuit school* for her took-forever-to-build-drysuit (), I would suggest David Evans as being the most knowledgeable source for diving in BC. Frank (fbp) is probably another excellent source of info. Good luck!

They are off Campbell River, on Quadra Island. Most awesome diving I've ever done, and Earl and Deb are top-notch hosts and excellent cooks.
I can also highly recommend http://www.porpoisebaycharters.com/ - Kal and Ann do a great job.
I'm sure others will chime in as well... Port Hardy is quite lovely.
I'd also recommend that you check out http://www.bcdiveguide.com/
Hope this helps... I absolutely LOVE diving in BC. It's sooooo beautiful, and on top of all that, the SD gals from there seem pretty awesome.

Sushi is the offical food of diving.. period!!!It's Vancouver so there is always sushi fit somewhere into the agenda...
Made Dragon Rolls last night.. Unagi is the dessert sushi in my book..

Right you are, C. My bad.the SD gals from there seem pretty awesome.
"seem"?!
David,
Not having personally met Michelle, I think I can safely say nonetheless, for both of us . . . *are* pretty awesome!
What I meant to say was "I'm of the not-at-all-humble-opinion that the BC female representation from SD are the most exquisite, dazzling, breathtaking, thoughtful, intelligent examples of all that is sweet and wonderful in the female of the species".
You know I got much love for ya, C.

Well, in Michelle's case ... no, but in my still-not-certified case ... yes!Would it be presumptuous to say "Scuba Divas"?
(I plan on taking my OW course at the beginning of September at Ocean Quest in North Van (thx, David!), assuming all goes well with my ability to complete the prerequisites. I'll IM you, Cliff, once I've completed it.)
Michelle,
For you I shall attempt to emerge from my normally introverted state-of-being and meet in person one day soon. Maybe coffee during lunch hour?
David,
A simple, "Oops! Sorry! *Are* awesome!" would have sufficed!
Regardless ...
