Tuwanek Abyss: Sunshine Coast
Two days back in BC from my travels in Southeast Asia, and I was out on the zodiac. Needless to say the 5 degree weather was certainly not the 38 degrees I had become use to.
So, off to the Abyss, this beautiful beach, wall dive area about 10 minutes up the Sechelt Inlet.
We rolled into the beach area around 10:30 am, and we took our time getting ready, since it had been a few months since I suited up for cold water diving. I forgot how heavy 10kg on a weight belt actually felt like. My buddy Sammy and I worked everything out, planned our dive and headed into the water. The visibility in the inlet right now is not all that great, it is pretty mucky, but still the dive went very well.
I was surprised with the difference from the tropical diving I had recently done, simply there does not to seem to be the schooling fish, and the bright flashes of color I had become use to.
However, there were a couple of very large ling cods, many crabs, chimney sponges, and lots of vegetation. Overall it was an excellent dive, and it was all thanks to Suncoast Diving, one of the best dive centers I have dove with.
