Dive-site story
Located south of Chilliwack in the Fraser Valley, Cultus Lake serves as a frequent freshwater training and recreational site for local British Columbia divers. Entry is typically made from public beach areas such as Main Beach or Sunnyside. The substrate transitions from shallow gravel and sand flats into silty slopes scattered with sunken logs, lost docks, and discarded historical items.
Sunken logs and fallen timber that serve as habitat for freshwater fish
Treasure hunting for vintage bottles and lost recreational gear around old docks
Gentle sloping shore entries convenient for skills practice and check-out dives
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Spring and autumn offer the best balance of reduced motorized boat traffic and cleared water before summer algae blooms.
