What could one expect for depth and layout of this site ?
Thanks again

Is this also known as Agamennon Wall?

It couldn't be less complicated. Its a steep slope/wall. Basically linear-left and right of the power lines. Go as deep as you like, the channel is way beyond divable depths.doublesunder wrote:What could one expect for depth and layout of this site ?

Cloud sponges start around 70fsw and get bigger the deeper you go.

Re: Powerlines, Sechelt, BC Canada
Thanks for the responses, I have a trip coming up in the area. Was curious if it is worth the time to go deeper on this site.
Re: Powerlines, Sechelt, BC Canada
My understanding is that at about 140, you get into a mixture of cloud sponges and red gorgonians, and the gorgonians get bigger as you go deeper. This was one of the dives for which I got my tech cert, and I have yet to do it.

Are you keeping or selling Nottie? We could do a trip in the late spring if you'd like. Bit of a drive and one ferry ride (which is admittedly expensive) but overall its not an unreasonable 4 day trip. Most of the sites in/around that area are pretty benign current-wise, so its more a question of tides not being uber-low creating launching hassles and not having bad winds.LCF wrote:My understanding is that at about 140, you get into a mixture of cloud sponges and red gorgonians, and the gorgonians get bigger as you go deeper.

Although it's been a number of years since I've been up there, this is true as of the last time I dived it - sometime back in 06 or 07 I think.LCF wrote:My understanding is that at about 140, you get into a mixture of cloud sponges and red gorgonians, and the gorgonians get bigger as you go deeper.

I went up with a mostly rec crew who came back from the dive and were talking about basketball sized gorgonians and sponges. I dropped to about 150-ish on some light mix and they were much, much larger and also more plentiful. We're talking people sized...at least the small ones
This is a great site to suck helium if you want to see the really cool stuff. It's great no matter what, but it's awesome 150'+
There are no stupid questions, but there sure are a lot of inquisitive idiots...

If you're going to be staying with Porpoise Bay, ask Kal to take you to Captain's Island as well. The cloud sponges there aren't as big as the ones you'll see deep at Agammemnon, but they're shallower and more plentiful ... which can make for a longer dive overall ...doublesunder wrote:Thanks for the responses, I have a trip coming up in the area.

Found some videos here and there, definitely looks worth packing some helium along. Planning on a few dives on the HMCS Chaudiere too, will be my first time on the wreck.
Thanks for all the helpfull input...
