This is a great wreck dive. The first of a fleet of old Canadian navy vessels to be sunk on Canada's west coast; this vessel was sunk by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia, December 5, 1992. It didn't go down as planned, as this wreck ended up on it's port side and slid down the underwater bank a little farther than planned. Her bow sits at about 130'+ feet, while her stern can be from 60'-80', depending on the tides. The ship is covered with anemones, nudibranchs, and there have been reports of some ling cod and octopi residing in the area. Further training is necessary if you are planning on penetrating the wreck. It can get pretty silty in there, so make sure you've got the proper training before venturing inside!!
