to experience some of the best cold water diving in the world. Nestled in the temperate rainforest on a small island in a remote corner of the Pacific coast of Canada, God’s Pocket Resort offers a comfortable and convenient launching pad to some of the world’s best cold-water diving.
The world class dive sites of Browning Pass are just a short boat ride away from God’s Pocket Bay (aptly named for its protected waters and cozy cove). This area is home to a mind-boggling concentration and diversity of marine life.
A week of diving at God's Pocket consists of a 6 night stay at our off grid lodge with 5 full dive days. Each dive day you will have the opportunity to go out on 3 boat dives, and you’ll be fed 3 delicious meals. Dives are typically 45min – 1hr long to match the slack tides, and when you’re done you’ll be hoisted up on our dive elevator without having to take off a single fin. We also offer 1 night / evening dive in the bay per week.

Have an Advanced Diver or higher dive certification
