Diving in our waters has been identified as among the best in the world. Water clarity, eco-diversity, species abundance, world-class wrecks and more are all common desciptions of British Columbia scuba diving. One of the few barriers to full enjoyment of BC's underwater world has been the cold water temperature.

Great Pacific Diving has been an industry leader in innovation and technology since 1987. We're offering this incredible enhancement to our Openwater and Advanced Training Classes to ensure the maximum comfort and warmth of our students.

Students will get the opportunity to experience the amazing Oceaner/Tusa Full Titanium Foil drysuit. This remarkable suit features Yamamoto Technical rubber, triple-glued and welded seams and the kind of flexibility normally only found in wetsuits. Stay warm, dry and comfortable while experiencing the best of world-class diving!

Aqua Lung Trade-In 2010
A regulator is the heart of a diver's system; the models and designs today ensure the ultimate in comfort, safety and reliability. As an industry leader, Aqua Lung has announced a trade-in programme for 2010 that offers low-cost upgrades to two of the finest performing regulators currently available:
#1 LEGEND LX ACD SUPREME. Incorporating a proprietary over-balanced first-stage design and a high-performance balanced second stage, the Legend LX ACD Supreme is a Scuba Diving Magazine Testers' Choice; this top-model regulator is also cold-water rated and 40% EANx ready! MSRP $899 With Trade-In $589
#2 TITAN LX ACD SUPREME A lightwieght, travel-friendly, 40% EANx ready regulator designed to deliver outstanding warm & cold-water performance - all at an unbelievably-low cost! MSRP $599 With Trade-In $389
How does the trade-in work? All you need is a regulator in working-order from ANY manfacturer and ANY vintage. Time to drag that old Snark-II from your grandfather's storage and step-up to the best! Why trade-up? 1. Metal components corrode and the rubber in older diving regulators (including o-rings, diaphragms and hoses) eventually fatigue and perform sub-optimally; any diver who has experienced a leaking regulator or a blown hose on a dive holiday understands this! 2. The performance of modern regulators is outstanding compared to early-designs. 3. The cost of maintaining an older regulator can become prohibitive. An older regulator (without a parts-for-life warranty) could cost several hundred dollars to service. With a new Aqua Lung regulator, common service parts are free* for as long as you own it! *Certain conditions and obligations apply

January 2010 Rental Promotion Take advantage of the crystal-clear waters that winter diving offers! Great Pacific will make it easier: During Jan 2010, all rentals are 1/2 price!!!

Computer Deals A computer is one of the most safety-oriented pieces of equipment that a diver can have. Not having to worry or think-about no-decompression times (or how long or where to make deco stops if you stay too long!) is a significant safety choice you can make. Want a once-in-a-lifetime deal on a dive computer? Check-out the in-store offerings NOW before the best deals are gone!


Annapolis Update:
The 371-foot destroyer HMCS Annapolis is planned to be sunk in Howe Sound in 2010! The project is a co-operative effort of the Artificial Reef Society of B.C, affiliate organizations, and many sponsors, including Great Pacific Diving. Check with the store for opportunities to join workparties helping to get the Annapolis ready for her new life as an artificial reef!
