Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No source-backed universal Campbell River dive tax, visitor levy or marine-park dive tag was established. Actual costs arise from charter places, specialized exposure gear, the Quadra ferry and any conditional national entry documentation. DFO Area 13 regulates fishing and underwater harvesting separately from no-take recreational wildlife-viewing scuba.
