Explore the possibilities with today’s Groupon: for $29, you get a Discover Scuba Experience (a $60 value) at Ocean Pro Divers, located in Surrey and Delta.

The veterans at Ocean Pro Divers bring the seafloor to the surface with engaging instruction and relevant retail. The evening course, Discover Scuba Experience ($60), commences with a quick indoor lesson illuminating equipment ease, diving fundamentals, and the economic policies of mermen. After the PADI professional supervisor assists in suiting everyone in the provided gear, the class splashes into one of the facility pools, inhaling air while fully submerged underwater. The course lasts roughly three hours, the ideal amount of time for stretching marine lungs, mastering scuba technique, and avoiding a viewing of Titanic. Check out the schedule for class dates and be sure to bring a swimsuit and towel.

Today’s Groupon: for $225, you get a one-night stay in a standard room at The Listel Hotel Whistler and a prix fixe three-course dinner for two at Bearfoot Bistro & Champagne Bar (up to a $395 value).

The Listel Hotel is nestled away in the bosom of Whistler’s outdoor jungle gym, a collection of activities such as mountain biking, river rafting, ziptrekking, golf courses, world-class skiing, and more. A one-night stay at the hotel brings explorers within a short walking distance to the main ski lifts of Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains, an abundance of anti-indoor avocations, and a village awash with popular shopping, restaurants, and people named Earl (up to a $199 value).

After a day of exploration, succumb to serenity with your room’s amenities, such as complimentary WiFi and cable television. Bask in the warmth of one of the hotel’s whirlpool or saunas to relax sore muscles or sweat out the lost soul of an 18th-century gadget salesman living in your spirit carriage. After resting the bones for a bit, make your way over to the upscale yet casual Bearfoot Bistro & Champagne Bar, where you and a companion can treat the taste buds to a prix fixe three-course meal of exquisite modern Canadian cuisine for two.

Ishara, which generally means “to send someone in the right direction” in a number of Eastern languages, stocks its sleek shelves with boutique pieces and accessories inspired by cutting-edge magazines and blogs, as well as the owners’ travels. Lauded by Flare magazine for its “dreamy selection of chic basics and wow pieces,” Ishara is a sophisticated dinner party whose guests include designers Smythe, Rory Beca, and Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent, not to mention denim mavens Rich & Skinny and J Brand. Form-flattering dresses and sassy pants complement and, to their blushing pride, compliment chic accessories, including watches, belts, and bags.

Regulars have a jones for Ishara’s jeans, including the flexible Rich & Skinny Legacy denim leggings, whose elasticity also renders them an efficient watermelon slingshot ($135). Browsing the store’s new arrivals yields such delectable treasures as the Central Park West feather-print wrap blouse ($120) and the Francophonically nautical stripe scoop tee by T-Los Angeles ($85).

Located in the historic and booming Gastown district, home to some of Vancouver’s best restaurants, Ishara provides plenty of opportunities to celebrate new duds with tastefully prepared spuds.

Today’s Groupon: for $79, you get one Zerona body-slimming treatment at Laser Body Sculpting (a $365.83 value). Laser Body Sculpting has locations in North Vancouver and South Surrey.

With more than 30 years of combined experience, the doctors at Laser Body Sculpting employ the Zerona laser treatment at two locations in Vancouver. Using a cold laser beam, Zerona’s noninvasive treatment endeavours to shrink the volume of your body’s fat cells by allowing them to open and relieve themselves of fat materials, along with impure thoughts about cheese snacks. The 40-minute session allows for 20 minutes on your back and 20 minutes on your front, and can be used on stomach, thighs, waist, love handles, or disliked doorknobs.

Though the Zerona treatment is designed to help patients lose 3 to 9 inches over the course of six treatments, today’s Groupon gets you started with one treatment.

West Coast Aquatic Safaris

http://www.whalesafaris.com/

Today’s Groupon: for $48, you get one adult ticket to a whale watching or bear watching tour (up to an $89 value) including eco fee (a $2 value) and fuel surcharge (a $6.23 value) from West Coast Aquatic Safaris (up to a $97.23 total value), located in Tofino.

West Coast Aquatic Safaris ogles the vibrant beauty of wildlife thriving in its natural habitat with environmentally responsible boat tours. Forget the vessel’s helm and focus all attention toward the watery stage where gray whales, humpback whales, and orcas splash spectacularly and demonstrate the chicken leg dance during the whale watching tour. Otherwise, cruise along the Clayoquot Sound as black bears ham it up and steal camera shots from rival bald eagles, sea lions, seals, and porpoises along the bear watching tour.

West Coast Aquatic Safaris’ sea crafts smoothly float passengers along for two-and-a-half to three hours and feature an outdoor deck and an indoor cabin where sight-eyeing sojourners can take shelter during a rain shower or salamander plague. Year-round whale tours depart three times a day, while bear tours only deploy June through August and are subject to the tides.

Although West Coast Aquatic Safaris sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.

Today’s Groupon to SunScape Tanning Studios. Choose between two options:

Choose from seven locations in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, Port Coquitlam, and South Surrey.

SunScape Tanning, winner of Georgia Straight’s best place for a beach-ready tan in 2009 and 2010, browns the sun shy with VersaSpa and Mystic Tan sunless tanning, and satisfies sun chasers with customizable plans, five levels of tanning, and a flock of bed options. Show the winter sun that he’s not the only game in town with two sessions of UV-free spray tanning ($35 per session). UV virtuosos can keep up epidermal masterpieces and tanning novices can begin bronzing adventures in any of the myriad level 1–5 options ($7.50–$40 per session). Contoured acrylic beds cradle pressure points and fawn over sun chasers, coddling them like attentive butlers, spraying a cooling mist, playing music from iPod docks, and keeping superhero exploits secret. The $65 credit is good toward any new tanning package or membership, and Groupon holders get $10 off any lotion purchase more than $50.

Vancouver, British Columbia
http://thefactorygranville.com/

Stir up local nightlife with today’s Groupon: for $10, you get $20 worth of bar eats and libations at The Factory, located on Granville Street.

At The Factory, rock ‘n’ roll-styled décor sets a lively scene for a meal of classic bar fare and an extensive list of cocktails, shooters, and beer. Small plate starters such as pierogi with chipotle mayo, sour cream, bacon, and green onions ($5.95) and a full pound of breaded chicken wings ($5.95) prevent taste bud insurrection before the meal arrives. Entrees include the Santa Fe sandwich, a chicken burger with avocado, mango salsa, and fries ($5.95), and the house specialty, the Anaconda ($9.95)—an unholy hybrid of BLT, cheeseburger, and grilled cheese sandwichcraft threatening to encircle, squeeze, and devour doctor’s notes in one fell swoop. Beer arrives at thirsty tables from the tap or in bottles, and a staggering list of popular shooters and cocktails satisfies both the sweet tooth and the savoury tonsils.

For patrons who like to show off their impeccable taste in music, or just want to treat fellow diners to endless repetitions of “Yakety Sax,” The Factory keeps an all-knowing Internet jukebox open for suggestions until the bar’s generous closing time of 2 a.m. Monday through Saturday and 1 a.m. Sunday.

http://www.ambushpaintball.com/home.html

Today’s Groupon: for $25, you get two admissions, rental gear, and 200 total paintballs at Ambush Paintball in Surrey (up to a $50 value).

Ambush Paintball sets the stage for mini-dramas of fast-paced, safe, and rainbow-homaging fun. From 10 a.m.–5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, you and a friend receive all day CO2 refills, a rental mask, a rental gun, and 100 fresh, name-brand paintballs each. With three playing fields to choose from—the action-filled Dirtmound, a 250×200-square-foot “city”, and five acres of well-plotted forest with plenty of bushball hidey-holes—this nature’s paint preserve keeps players at every level challenged as they point, shoot, and stick tongues out in defiance. The expertly trained staff carefully outlines how-tos on equipment operation, the rules of the game, and safety instructions. After play commences, ally with one tree for cover as shots are aimed at players hiding behind traitor trees. At the city field, giant foam balls valiantly but futilely attempt to blockade frenemies from staining swathes of paint.

At all times, referees dot the field, making sure safety is maintained and starving artists are escorted out. Vegetable oil forms the balls of color-blastin’ ammo, so technicolored clothing washes up good as new. The cheerful staff at Ambush can answer questions concerning play or the premises.
