Many thanks again for the support of everyone who participated in today's first charter from newly redone north harbour of Powell River to Vivian Island wall.
Visability was fair under 50 feet. Water temp a balmy 48F at about 120 feet.
We saw rockfish galore,some monstrous Puget Sound king crabs, a decorated warbonnet hanging out in the boom chain fixing the float to the bottom, many king size ling cod and numerous cloud sponges.
I will post the date of July's charter by the end of next week.

Nanaimo Dives ,Cape Breton and Saskatchewan
No photo's of this one. Ouch!
Visability was good at about 80+ feet.
I went Sunday with Jim Rossi and a group from Greg McCraken's, Ocean Quest dive centre aboard Sea Dragon Charters ,Sea Dragon skippered by Mamro Adventures Dan Ferris.
I really must get on another of these with a camera in my hands. Coast guard hovercraft arrived and deployed surface supply divers on Saskatchewan as we were doing our surface interval after dive on Cape Breton. We met one of these divers on our second dive on the Saskatchewan. There was plenty to see and lots of life on both of these artificial reef's. Jim and I saw the largest Yelloweye rockfish we have ever seen and Stuart's group saw a wolf eel on the Cape Breton. Both are amply covered in plumose anemones and present great diving for a broad spectrum of divers.
Many thanks to Jim, Greg , Dan and Christine for a great couple dives on two must see artificial reefs.
