About this dive site

This dive site, Ansel Point, enjoys a somewhat polarizing reputation – some divers consider it exceptional, while others find it challenging. Located in Howe Sound, this shore dive offers impressive quality compared to other accessible shoreline options. However, the approach presents a significant hurdle: expect a lengthy hike down and back up, alongside a potentially slippery entry point that may feel more like a boat access point at low tide. The site’s allure stems from its generally good visibility and enjoyable diving experiences for those willing to overcome the access difficulties. Due to its challenging entry, it's best suited for experienced divers who are comfortable with potential tidal conditions.
