Sidney Dive Centre is a premiere SCUBA diving shop located in Victoria BC.  Close to the HMCS Mackenzie artificial reef, Sidney Dive Centre offers PADI courses, SCUBA equipment rentals and sales, charter dive boats trips and dive gear servicing.

Jacques Cousteau proclaimed that the spectacular waters of British Columbia, Vancouver Island are "The best temperate water diving in the world and second only to the Red Sea".  In September of 1995, the HMCS Mackenzie, a decommissioned Canadian destroyer was sunk purposely to create an artificial reef off the coast of Victoria, British Columbia near Sidney, BC creating one of our favourite SCUBA diving sites.  While SCUBA diving with Sidney Dive Centre, you will have the opportunity to see the Six Gilled Shark, the playful Stellar and California Sea Lions, Harbour Seals, the Wolf Eel and the Giant Pacific Octopus, the largest octopus in the world.

From open water diving to wreck diving to wall and cave diving, contact us and let us show you British Columbia's premier diving sites.  Our customer service is second to none and we guarantee that you will  go home with a dive story that lasts a lifetime.
