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.

Wreck Trek passports and stamp arrive


I would like to thank the volunteers of the DIABC for the wreck trek passports and stamp which have been printed and distributed to supporting dive centres and charter operators .They look great. Big thanks to April Bencze for the wonderful layout and design work. I think its good for Powell River, divers and diving  that the Gulf Stream and Capilano have been included in the trek. Hopefully this will bring groups of divers from out of town to come sample the diving in and around Powell River and also stimulate local divers to dive the great wrecks in our backyard and to venture out of town to complete the full trek which at this time consists of 8 vessels, 1 plane and my sincere hopes that the Annapolis gets sunk and makes 10.  I've included photos from the passport of a few of wrecks on the trek. 
Time to get at it and start visiting or revisiting these dives. 
Its off to the Gulf Stream tomorrow or monday for me.
