This dive site is located in the Salish Sea and presents an interesting wreck dive. The YOGN 82, a World War II ferroconcrete hulled vessel, was sunk approximately three years ago by the A.R.S.B.C. and Catalyst Paper mill. The wreck measures 365 feet (111 meters) in length. This is considered a relatively easy dive, being located just five minutes from the harbor. Due to its history as a wartime vessel, it offers a glimpse into the past.
