SCUBA Diving Porteau Cove .. 5 wrecks, 1 tank and a video

I faced a dilemma friday night: my family had left whistler after spending a week there at their resort, Club Intrawest. Me, I was diving nearby saturday morning. I weighed two options: drive home then back AGAIN in the morning, and …. find somewhere to camp in the woods for a night. I chose the latter.

It was… interesting. I’ll tell you one thing, getting new batteries for my flashlight was a blessing. It was pitch dark and all I could hear were bears growling (I was in the bush on Rainbow mountain).

I made it alive. Porteau was awesome. It was my first dive there. Visibility was awesome – at about 40 feet. Check out the video I made mixed with Gaia Aisha (Armin’s ASOT).

It’s worth watching in HD here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKQmgVz8dvk or just watch it here (non HD):

On my way out I met a group of freedivers. One of the guys says he has been to 250 feet! I haven’t even been half that deep on a SCUBA tank! Nuts. Anyway, they were cool and offered to teach me a few things sometime. Sounds good to me.
