The Pacific Ocean is pretty fantastic on the surface, but there’s even more beauty deep down: British Columbia is one of North America’s top scuba diving destinations. Sea Dragon Charters (page 85) departs from Horse- shoe Bay for diving and snorkelling expeditions in the wild waters of Howe Sound, home to wolf eels, Pacific octopus and the diver-friendly wreckage of a Canadian Navy destroyer. Experienced divers can rent gear from Rowand’s Reef (page 85) and choose their own under- water adventure. If the open sea isn’t your cup of tea, get your feet wet in the ocean-adjacent Second Beach Pool (page 89) or Kitsilano Pool (page 89). Swimmers, splashers and water-lovers of all ages enjoy Kitsilano Pool, Vancouver’s only saltwater swimming pool Photo ©MajaPhoto/ iStocKPhoto.coM 20 where.ca J u ly 2 0 1 8
