British Columbia's beauty doesn't stop where the water starts, it keeps going. Beneath the surface of the water, incredible wildlife, impressive geography, and the wonder of discovery awaits... Beneath BC was created by Russell Clark, but it's not a project that belongs to anyone. It is a hashtag, an idea, a concept of promotion that others can, and are using to help promote the underwater side of British Columbia and Canada. If you see something that you feel represents what lays beneath BC, use the hashtag #BeaneathBC in your online post, then others will be able to see it too! Together we can show the world the hidden beauty of BC! British Columbia, Canada
