God's Pocket Resort

A remote lodge on Hurst Island near Port Hardy, diving the current-swept channels of Browning Pass, where cold emerald water feeds walls carpeted in strawberry anemones, soft corals and giant Pacific octopus dens. Diving is drysuit territory, tide-timed and guided from small boats.

Verblijf ter plaatse: A handful of cabins around the lodge dock; access is by boat transfer from Port Hardy and stays are all-inclusive by necessity.

Prijzen: Multi-night packages in the upper band for cold-water diving, reflecting the logistics of a boat-access lodge. Book far ahead — capacity is tiny — and confirm seasonal opening dates.
