We spent a week diving at God's Pocket, and it was a treat. Very comfortable resort, and the dive boat is very nice. A lift to get back on board! While the viz was not up to its usual clarity, the diving was quite nice. Lots of marine life, and the dive at Turret Rock in Nakwakto Rapids was excellent.... More

I had the pleasure of FINALLY diving with Gods Pocket. Everything you've heard is true. Awesome resort, people and come on.... a dive boat with an elevator!!!! It does not get better than that. The life on Browning wall defies description. There is so much that the rock face is not visible. This is a must dive location for the... More

The owners of God's Pocket, Bill and Annie, make the trip safe and enjoyable from the moment they pick you up in Port Hardy, BC throughout your entire stay. Maybe it is the amazing quantity and quality of underwater life in the Browning Wall Pass area, the homey feeling of the rooms, club house, and the dining room, or the... More

Cold water scuba diving is not for everyone...requires extra effort, dry suits and skill to enjoy. These cold waters off the northern end of Vancouver Island are worth the experience...abundant big life and little critters as well. I have been diving these waters anually for 24 years. Nudibranch nirvana for macro photographers. Some great dive sites that require extra efort... More

Imagine a place where natural beauty exudes, pristine waters glisten, soft moss carpet under your feet while you hike in the nearby woods, soft cozy cottages for your evening respite and wonderful home cooked meals all day. If you can you may begin to understand what you will experience kayaking in God's Pocket with Sea Kayak Adventure. I loved every... More

Returned a few weeks ago from a 6-day, 5-night trip to God's Pocket Resort with Sea Kayak Adventures. Before I signed up, I wasn't sure I needed the luxury of a real bed, shower, and full meals. Believe me...it was all worth it! God's Pocket Resort owners Bill and Annie are wonderful hosts. Terry Pritchard, co-owner of SKA, was part... More

I had the marvelous opportunity to stay at God's Pocket Resort through Sea Kayak Adventure's (SKA) kayak/yoga trip in July 2012. Yes, I died and went to heaven. When I opened my eyes, I was still on planet earth, sitting amidst a lovingly crafted resort with whales harumphing just outside my bedroom door. Owners, Bill and Annie, have put together... More

If you have a chance to stay here, do. It was the best place we say. The hosts are wonderful. We stayed in the cabin, which was quite nice. The food was fantastic, and we saw a humpback whale pass every night. Beautiful country.
