HMCS Annapolis

Post by Ken G »

Looks like our neighbors to the north will have a new wreck to dive in the near future. We will not have to take the ferry over to Vancouver Island for this one either as it is just north of Vancouver.

This is interesting too....

"The Annapolis boasts 40% more diver-explorable space than previously sunk sister ships because of a number of external features which include overhead swim through companion ways, helicopter flight deck and hanger and an exterior bridge. "

There are some good interior shots here
