There are three that I would recommend:

Sunshine Coast Tours, (Bryce Christie), at
http://sunshinecoasttours.com/

The Nautilus Explorer, (Mike Lever), at
http://www.nautilusexplorer.com/

and Rendezvous Diving (Dave & Renatta Christie), at
Barkley Sound. I don't think they have a website.

The best cooking is at Barkley Sound, Bryce doesn't serve any meal
except lunch, which is his wife's homemade soup.

The diving depends on the time of year. The big hit is Port Hardy, and
that isn't available all year.

The most remote location is Barkley Sound, which is also the longest
drive from Seattle.

The easiest and most expensive is the Nautilus Explorer.

The prettiest dive master is Judd, also on the Nautilus Explorer. There
isn't a DM on Bryce's Topline, but then, he doesn't need one.

Places to avoid include Galiano Island, anthing connected with Bob
Martin, (although I don't think he's still in the dive business, which
is another example of the efficiency of the market place,) or God's
Pocket. God's Pocket used to be a good place, but they sold it to a guy
who drove his boat into a cable, and dropped the mast on the head of a
customer. I'll consider going back if A) the Nautilus Explorer stops
going to the same dive sites, and B) the guy sells it to someone who
knows how to drive a boat.

The Nautilus Explorer is eating everyone's lunch because they launch
out of Vancouver, eliminating between 2 and 4 hours of driving, each
way, (you just drive to Vancouver, and tip Judd to load your gear,) and
because everything's there. Good food, any mixed gas you want on the
good sites, argon, and pretty DM's. The only downside is that, like all
boats, it's a party you can't leave. Don't include any a.sholes in your
group, because you're going to be on a boat at sea with them. There are
always clueless newbies, who bring great big containers on wheels, and
you just sort of have to put up with them. Leave your big assed crate
at home. They don't have any place on boats, and they broadcast to the
world that you are a clueless, self centered newbie.

Go to Barkley Sound if you want to see bears on the beach at breakfast,
or if you want to get away from it all. Go to the NE if you want first
class, at a first class price. Going to see Bryce is just always a good
idea.

I have dove with them many times and have loved every minute of it.    My
only complaint is that I was one of the stupid ones that sat out for this
dive:  http://www.nwdivenews.com/FS/index.asp?showart=Y&ID=91  It was a
once-in-a-lifetime, and I missed it! :(
