About this site
China Creek Wall lies near Port Alberni on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, along the Alberni Inlet. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is generally considered an intermediate dive. Divers have reported octopus along the wall, though conditions here call for some caution, with cold water, a silty bottom, entanglement potential, and reduced visibility near the surface all noted at the site. Abrasion and the depth itself add to the list of hazards worth keeping in mind before descending.
