I was having a hard time taking one with your hand there for perspective, after 3 or 4 attempts this is the only half decent one. It doesn't quite show the size of that thing. it was freaking huge, about the size of pumpkin.

We just returned from a 4 day vacation at Parksville and I did dives 2 and 3 on my way to my NAUI certification at Tyee Cove. I was totally blown away by the diversity of life! We saw stars of all colors and sizes, rock fish, anemones, some sort of jelly fish and cucumbers. We were planning on doing dives 4 and 5 at Madrona Point, but the weather was not great so I will be completing my certification in Mexico. But we plan on making yearly trips back to the Island and do many more dives.

Mmmm, Madrona point. I hung out there well before that place had houses on it. I'm glad the very tip was left as public access.

Ever dived off Hornby? Supposedly there's a spot off Hornby you can find six-gill sharks, one spot out of very few outside tropical waters.

Six gills haven't been seen at Hornby for a couple of years. Don't know why. They are diving in Barkly sound now for Six Gills. Whytecliff park in West Vancouver had a reported white gill sighting a couple of weeks ago.

These dives where done at Tilly point off Pender Island.
