The waters around Hornby Island are full of a rich variety of marine life. In any season, you can encounter Giant Pacific octopus, wolf eels, harbour seals, large ling cod and rock fish, colourful anemones and nudibranchs.Hornby is also well known for its excellent 'big animal' dives.Sixgill sharks are probably the best-known reason to dive Hornby. Swimming beside a sixgill is an experience of a lifetime! During winter, Stellar's and California sea lions congregate near Hornby to feed on migrating herring. Their underwater acrobatics are a treat to watch.www.hornbyislanddiving.com/
