Magnificent mountains spill into fiords which offer diving experiences found nowhere else in the world. Sheer walls to sandy bottoms. Temperate, subtropical, deep and shallow water species all exist because of the fresh water layer and the small temperate range. Approximately 160 species of fish have so far been recorded by divers within the surface 45m of the fiords. Go swimming with the dolphins and fur seals. Excellent kelp beds, weeds, sponges, rich in marine life and small crayfish with excellent photographic opportunities.
