    <title>Apr 24, Is the sinking of the Annapolis sunk?</title>
    <link>http://www.best-scuba-diving-vacations-in-british-columbia.com/scuba-diving-blog.html#Is-the-sinking-of-the-Annapolis-sunk?</link>
    <description>While many divers from around the world have been eagerly awaiting the sinking of the former HMCS Annapolis near Vancouver this summer, recent reports in the press indicate the Government may have sunk the deal at the 11th hour.

After years of hard work by members of the ARSBC and the many volunteers who have been carefully prepping her to be sunk, it seems pressure by some local residents of Halkett Bay may have stopped the project.

While we haven&#39;t seen official confirmation yet, we&#39;re keeping our fingers crossed that any issues can be peacefully and successfully resolved.</description>

    <title>Apr 16, BC Dive Site Review   The Wreck of the Malahat</title>
    <link>http://www.best-scuba-diving-vacations-in-british-columbia.com/index.html</link>
    <description>First Name - Scott

City - Powell River

State/Prov - BC

Country - Canada

What are you reviewing? - Dive Site

Name(s) - Wreck of the Malahat

Rating - 4 Stars (Great!)

Details - This site is the final resting place of the Malahat. She was a 5 masted wooden hulled auxilliary schooner with a colorful history, which was covered in an episode of &quot;The Sea Hunters&quot; 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. See the
local dive shop for directions.</description>
