Pole to Pole....Situated on the southern side of Cabrits National Park, at north end of Prince Rupert Bay. It is occasionally used as aa cruise ship berth during thw winter months. This dive is a marine biologists dream, a macro photographer’s paradise, and something for those who like things weird and wonderful.

The big boulders lie piled on top of each other, and huge wooden poles that soar 40 feet above you make up the cruise ship dock, have spawned untold amounts of living twists and globules dripping down and intertwining with each other on this amazing structure. The sun's rays cascading and dancing on the myriad of colours that encrust the surface of everything. Within each, close-up, lies another world, another dimension, an alien environment, a psychedelic experience of living forms. Sponges completely envelope the poles….finger sponges, encrusting mat sponges, tube sponges….sponges on sponges

Flying Gurnards dance in pairs along the sandy bottom, peacock flouders lie hidden and yellowheaed jawfish are all watching you glide by.

And this is where we find Batfish, one of natures truly bizarre creatures. We know three of them by name…Bobby, Betty and Nigel No-Nose.

A huge tyre that fell off the dock many years ago has now got the most amazing yellow tube sponges growing on it, sat amongst this dripping landscape crawling and mutating. Trumpet fish city is what we see, as there are lots of these stick like fish with perfect buoyancy and graceful poise hovering around and darting back and forth. Sergeant Majors, Creole Wrasse and Blue Chromis swarm around you while you keep an eye out for octopi in the shallows. A fascinating dive.
