This is from the forward part of the HMCS Mackenzie sunk 13yrs ago outside of Sidney BC. We entered on deck 3 (Burma Road) and then descended to deck 4. The mapped opening back up to deck 3 was not there, so we had to backtrack up to my secondary tieoff and then we went a short ways down Burma Road before the camera was too bulky to continue.
BTW the other artificial wrecks in BC are similar in terms of silt both on the floor and the walls and percolation (the stuff your bubbles dislodge).

Oh and trust me, their ain't nothing inside. They were thoroughly stripped before sinking, almost to the point where its hard to find decent tieoffs. Certainly there's nothing in them worth dying for.

Great video... with nice, relaxing music to keep my blood pressure down while you guys are going into the claustrophobic confines of the McKenzie. It sure looks tight in there!
I think if you used Stedings choice of tunes it might be different!!

Yeah Nick gets royalty free music, personally I find it really boring. Sometimes it fits tho.
