About this site
The Rivtow Lion lies near Nanaimo, on the east coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada, in the waters of the Strait of Georgia. It is considered a beginner-level dive, making it accessible to divers with less experience than some of the other wreck and reef sites in the region.
