Kelvin Grove Dive Site Profile
The Kelvin Grove dive site is located in Lions Bay, roughly a 30 minute drive from the Lions Gate bridge. It's located in a residential neighbourhood. There's a large parking lot with 5 spaces for visitors. The facilities include a bathroom near the staging area and a picnic table near the entry point, at the end of a 100m sloping trail. It's a quiet, secluded setting. Local residents seek to discourage diving here, but have always been friendly.
Follow Tidewater Way to the end of the road, below the train tracks. Leave your gear here before parking in the paved lot above the tracks.
There's a rocky reef structure just off the beach that drops down to about 12m, which makes the site ideal for Open Water course training.
For more ambitious diving there's a short swim Northwest across the cove to a wall dive with sandy ledges and a major bottom at around 26-28m (80-90 feet). This is ideal for deep dive training. It's possible to go as deep as 40m along a wide shelf. The wall drops down far beyond recreational dive limits. Shallower dives less than 18m (60 feet) are along a sloping sandy bottom with rocky outcroppings.
