About Neck Point

Neck Point is situated in Horswell Channel just off of Nanaimo in the greater Vancouver Island area of British Columbia. This dive site gets its name from the promenade outcrop at the point - a 'neck' point off of Namaimo adjacent to Vancouver across the sound. The site is an old favorite and suitable for night diving and for everyone from the most inexperienced novice. The topography is visually appealing and an all round old faithful.
