Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Porteau Cove
Porteau Cove should be renamed Diver's Paradise! The park system went all out to make this an appealing marine park for all levels of divers. Easy entry, marine life, marked wrecks, and a stair-side shower for your return make this site a two-tanker!
Heading North from Horseshoe Bay, after about 23km, you'll see the park on your left.

I wanted to provide updated instructions on how to find the Nakaya, as I had problems with what I found in my research. The Nakaya is a good dive, but I'd not recommend it to any novice/beginner divers due to the extreme surface swim, the deep depth, and the danger of the wreck itself. Directions to the Nakaya, starting from the stairs down to the water: <br>-Swim to the very last and very far white surface buoy on the extreme right (closest to shore). <br>-It is a long swim, about 320m using the ruler tool in Google Earth. <br>-Descend along the line from the buoy all the way to the bottom (depth about 25m). <br>-If you face a compass bearing of 30 degrees (or just ballpark North), and then turn 90 degrees to your left and start swimming, you'll run right into the Nakaya. <br>-The Nakaya is not far from the line. Maybe 20 or 30 feet. If you miss it for some reason, return to the line and try again.
