The Okanagan valley is a great place to live...snowboarding at Silver Star & Big White is excellent.  Nurses are in good demand and there is enough business that you could probably use your Bachelors degree if you wanted to.  I happen to have the same degree and I use it in what I do. 
 
As for diving, they do dive in the various lakes around here but obviously they don't have quite the quality of diving available off the coast. 
 
Edit:  "Hey my 1000th post!"
