Scuba Diver Australasia magazine has published my photo of a diver exploring one of British Columbia's premier artificial reefs in their "Extraordinary Dives - Inspiring Your Travel Plans" feature.
HMCS CHAUDIERE is a sport divers dream. Purposely sunk as an artificial reef on the fifth of December, 1992 in British Columbia’s Sechelt Inlet, this vessel was destined for the scrap yard until Canada’s Minister of Defense sold the war ship to the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia (ARSBC). For decades now, the ARSBC has been sinking retired warships and making them diver-safe, providing a habitat for marine life on an otherwise featureless bottom.
