Powell River, B.C., Canada
Is a 38 ft. diesel powered, 8 knot heavily laid up fiberglass displacement hull vessel built in 1980 to an Edwin Monk design as a west coast troller. Converted to a personal west coast exploration vehicle and day tour dive charter vessel in 2008-2009. GRADIENT operates on the North Sunshine Coast from her home port of Powell River. She moves between being based out of Powell River, Lund, Saltery Bay, Okeover Inlet and sometimes Pender Harbour. Gradient is a good stable dive platform with an easy to use custom dive ladder, large swim grid for cameras and gear, boom and lifting gear for 500 lb. and under ROV's and tech gear, that carries up to eight divers comfortably.

Moving Again.
Lots of work going on at Lund dock for the next couple weeks with float replacement.
We have moved Gradient to Okeover Inlet for this time frame to do a bit of exploration looking for the wreck of a small freighter from the 1920s rumoured to have sunk after striking Boundary Rock at the south end of the Goode Peninsula and also to see if we can find some more caves and good wall dives.
The extra 100 feet of new dock will great for Lund.

Weather was too poor to get a good anchor set at Kinghorn Isl. so we went directly to Bunster Pt. in Lancelot inlet for a wall dive exploration .
No caves and not a ton of fish but spectacular wall and topography.
