The source-backed budget components are park camping, any rented cold-water equipment, commercial guided shore dives, separately priced Howe Sound boat charters and optional land attractions. These are published CAD examples, not live availability or guaranteed future fares. No separate recreational Porteau Cove marine-park tag, compulsory dive access ticket or universal destination tourism levy was identified in BC Parks guidance. Commercial teaching or guiding inside the park instead requires appropriate park-use authorization. Check BC Parks and current operator checkout before paying.
