[@heatherklassen6978]

Amazing footage as usual! Even makes me appreciate the ferry haha. But seriously, Tuwanuk looks gorgeous!

[@hollyepearson]

Thank you Heather!!

[@mj_dolman5122]

Wow great footage! I live in this area and have been kayaking at Tuwanek, but have never dived under the water there. Years ago I tried scuba diving lessons while on vacation in the Caribbean and found it made me claustrophobic, however you have inspired me to try it again someday! Meanwhile I can sit in the comfort of home and enjoy the amazing sights.

[@hollyepearson]

I totally understand that claustrophobic feeling - I've felt that before especially around caves or nooks! So glad the videos inspired you to try it again, however. Definitely another world full of beauty down there, and I always hope people are able to enjoy it and explore it however they can. :D

[@DuaneBurnett]

[@hollyepearson]

Wow Duane - thank you so much!! That's incredibly kind. I hope you and others enjoy it 😀

[@billwillson5361]

That looks like a really "clean" area,it's really pretty.

[@billwillson5361]

So fun Holley! That's awesome,great job with the video. The ferry always makes me feel like a kid. That looks cool,where exactly is that?

[@hollyepearson]

Thank you so much Bill! I love ferries as well. We took the ferry out of Horseshoe Bay, in West Vancouver over to Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast. The dive site is called Tuwanek. 😀

[@annmacneill9405]

Thank you so much for this ! I just moved to BC and would really like to find out how I can hop to a few or more places along the coast over a 2 - 4 week period this fall. Small ferries ? with or without vehicle ? I'm open . And accomodations can be very basic , I'm all about hostels, Band Bs whatever. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated .

[@hollyepearson]

Hope your move went well! Lots to do as you explore and take it all in - I am sure you have already experienced that! Best of luck!!

[@jordanboo3164]

Omg I'm so jealous! 🤪 What was it like to wear a drysuit?

[@hollyepearson]

It is quite heavy and a bit chilly but all of that is quickly forgotten once under water :D

[@jordanboo3164]

[@sharethelove5034]

Have you ever seen a shark in BC waters?

[@hollyepearson]

I have seen dogfish which are in the shark family. They steer quite clear of us and are super shy so it doesn't happen often :)

[@jeremykang1991]

How deep you dive there?

[@hollyepearson]

I currently only dive to 18m/60ft because I am open water certified. Hoping to get my advanced next month to be able to dive deeper! However, I've loved seeing all of the life in the shallows with the kelp. 😀

[@jeremykang1991]

yeah deeper better haha
