Quite a large freighter with huge cathedral like holds. Viz was fairly decent for the area at 20' and little current. Amazing to see 1" steel plating torn like paper. The fish there had no fear. Many of them came within an inch or two of my mask and stared deeply into my dark green eyes. They must have been female...
This was an orientation / navigation dive so no penetrations. That will come next weekend when I return to the HMCS Saguenay next weekend. Looking forward to that as it was prepared for divers before it was sunk as an artificial reef... As an added incentive there is a full set of dive gear somewhere in the hull of the destroyer. The story as told to me: Two AOW divers with no wreck gear or training decided to go into the wreck last year. They got disorientated and separated. One had to ditch their rig in order to wriggle out of a small opening in the ships side. He ended up coming to the surface from 70' on a Spare Air. The other found a way out and got to the surface on fumes.
Added later: On the drive back from the dive site I ended up behind a car with the Trailer Park boys filming a scene going down a road. Different experience seeing Bubbles after diving...
Couple of pictures.
