First overnight dive charter in Phase 3 pandemic opening!! Awesome group from Ocean Quest perfected physical distancing at the house and on the boat! Eggs Benies delivered to the deck then onto the Skook to dive Observation Wall and Power Lines. Sorry but Canadians only😥 and max 6-8 divers on the boat. But it is a start. Great to see divers again.

Sunshine Coast BC Canada

How lucky are we to live and dive here!! 👌👍😀

: Atlas Obscura names Skookumchuck Narrows on Sunshine Coast BC in its 79 Cool, Hidden, Unusual Things to Do in British Columbia The water swaps direction twice a day, whipping into a frenzy of whirlpools and rapids. A series of thrashing rapids form a frothy, frenzied line along a beautiful stretch of water. The violent ripples are the water’s way of protesting the ever-changing direction of the tides. https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/skookumchuck-narrows

Sunken ship turns 25

The Chaudiere turns 25- can't believe so much time has gone by!!! Kal gets his name in the paper!!

She was born in the 1950s in Halifax’s shipyards, and in 1992 her life came to an end at the bottom of Porpoise Bay off Kunichin Point. The HMCS Chaudière didn’t sink on her own, though – it was a . . .
