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.

Malahat

Got out for a couple splashes with the sea lions at Malahat. On the first dive three of them were all around Bruce and I but only had macro lens so missed a great opportunity for photos but had a lot of fun. Next time with Wayne and Mitch I had a wide angle ready but we barely saw them at a bit of a distance as we were coming back along the breakwater. I will go back and try a few more times in the near future.
Lots of great nudibranchs on the breakwater.

Water is 45 deg f vis at about 70 ft and a bit turbid  for this time of year.
