Powell River Dive Site Reviews

Wreck of the Malahat

First Name: Scott

City: Powell River

State/Prov: British Columbia

Country: Canada

What are you reviewing?: Dive Site

Name(s): Wreck of the Malahat

Rating: 4 Stars (Great!)

Details (please explain why): This site is the final resting place of the Malahat.

She was a 5 masted wooden hulled auxiliary schooner with a colorful history, which was covered in an episode of "The Sea Hunters."

This is a great site for photos and sea life viewing. Depth ranges from 30 feet at the bow (where there is an interpretive plaque from the Underwater Archeological Society of BC) to 80 feet at the stern.

There is very little of the hull structure left intact, however there are some steel fuel/water tanks located near the stern.

This wreck is home to ling cod, rock fish, greenlings, perch, sea lions, octopus, loads of different types of nudibranchs and even some rock scallops.

Access is from Seconds Beach in Powell River near the mill.
