Steve,

What was the name of the shop?

Max,

If its wildlife you are after, up in the north, most all the goodies (Giant
Octopus, Wolf Eels, etc.) are 100 fsw and up.

Depending upon how you are set up, if you want the Northwest Wreck action,
you need to hook up with Andrew Georgitsis at 5th Dimension.
http://www.fifthd.com/

Andrew has many years of experience with wrecks in the Puget Sound area, is
our local GUE instructor. He also heads an organization of local wreck
explorers: http://www.scret.org/

For world class diving, you need to hook up with Bryce Christie, and
Sunshine Coast Tours.
http://www.sunshinecoasttours.bc.ca/scuba.html Agamemnon Channel is wall
diving where you will have anywhere from 400 to 1200 feet of water beneath
you. Skoocumchuck rapids is diveable only a few days of the year, this
section of water has tidal exchanges on the order of 16 knots. Very
reasonably priced also.
For gas fills, you need to connect with Miranda Aldritt (AKA Mad Dog) and
Digital Dave in Vancouver.

I have bccd this to them.

Scott
