HMCS CHAUDIERE
With the Christmas break upon us, there is plenty of spare time to get out and enjoy a good dive. Yes the water will be a chilly 48 degrees, but the visibility will be amazing, in around 30 – 40 foot level. So, if you find yourself up on the Sunshine coast, you should make arrangements to dive the HMCS CHAUDIERE, a 1950’s vintage Destroyer Escort. 
She was sunk in the early 90’s and is resting on her port side. The stern section is in 50 feet of water and the bow at 130 feet. This dive can be enjoyed from all levels of diver. In order to dive her, you will need to travel up the Sechelt inlet with one of the dive operations in Sechelt. I personally have used Suncoast Diving, which offers a two tank dive, at last prices of $110.00. This includes weights and tanks, but if you need to rent equipment the price is slightly higher.
I can think of no better way to spend the holidays, then underwater exploring our beautiful oceans!
