Scuba Forum / General / August 2003Is Vancouver or Seattle better for finding a giant pacific octopus?
Where would I have a better chance on a weekend dive trip of spotting a really impressive specimen of the Giant Pacific Octopus? Washington State or British Columbia? > Where would I have a better chance on a weekend dive trip of spotting > a really impressive specimen of the Giant Pacific Octopus? Washington > State or British Columbia? They're in both places. Local knowledge is more important.  Signature"We're going to rush the hijackers." -Jeremy Glick, aboard United Airlines flight 93, September 11, 2001 Excellent! Are you from Seattle? Do you know of any dive shops around there that might serve as sources of local knowledge? > They're in both places. Local knowledge is more important. > Excellent! Are you from Seattle? Do you know of any dive shops around > there that might serve as sources of local knowledge? As close to a guarantee your going to get will be at Sund Rock or Octopus Hole. Scott OK. If I have a pretty good chance of spotting one in the Seattle/Puget Sound area, I'll head there, if only 'cause JetBlue services that city. Thanks a million. --Jason Jay schrieb: > Where would I have a better chance on a weekend dive trip of spotting > a really impressive specimen of the Giant Pacific Octopus? Washington > State or British Columbia? Hello, when I was diving there in June, we were at Sechelt, Powell River (Octopus City), Quadra Island and Nanaimo. At Octopus City we had no chance of finding one, the visibility was too bad at that time due to a plancton bloom. We finally found them at Nanaimo, Madrona Point. But at first we had to find the wall under water, then some holes in the wall. If there was a hole with garbage from an octopus meal below the hole, the chance was pretty good to find an octopus there. If there is bad visibility at a good place to see octopusses you may miss the octopusses dens easily. Try to get a weekend with good visibility.
