About Swordfish Island

Swordfish Island is a boat-access Vancouver Island dive that rewards divers who are comfortable in cold water and good at timing current. The site is known for a shallow swim-through tunnel draped in soft coral and anemones, plus the usual Pacific Northwest mix of sea lions, rockfish, nudibranchs, crabs, shrimp, wolf eels, and octopus. It is the sort of site that feels easy only after you are properly geared up and the slack water is right.
