Gulf Stream wreck included in Wreck Trek.


One of my favorite local actual wrecks has finally been added to the Wreck Trek.
Thanks  to Bill Coltart for work on getting  the Gulfsream included and to April Bencze
for her great work on the ad below. I believe  Passports are going to be available from the DIABC at participating dive shops  for all of the wrecks and over the next couple of years anyone diving them will have their passport stamped after completing a dive on each particular wreck.
This is  great for Powell River . Id love to see an artificial Reef or two here also to further complement the local diving, dive tourism  and further enhance the circle route tour of wreck trek .
