There is no verified Bonaire-style marine park dive tag or blanket visitor tourism levy for this Port Hardy circuit. BC Parks lists an undeveloped provincial marine park with no designated swimming facilities; check direct park advisories and any relevant specific access permissions before launching. The main trip cost is an operator or dive-club package, not a government diving permit. Examples below are dated group offers, not universal prices or live availability. Compare tax, gratuities, parking, extra boat transfers, gear, flight baggage and insurance before paying. Fishing has separate federal licence and protected-area rules if added to the trip.
