I have looked in a couple of forums on this Annapolis reef project and this meeting planned for February. Having watched the epic of the Vandenberg going on for over 10 years before it finally became one hell of a great dive I hope this mess ends up with the same happy conclusion. It sounds...

I read this and the other material on this board about this fiasco. What a cluster this has turned into. What kind of idiots have they got running this program? We had the same thing on this coast a few years ago with the Vandenberg mess in Key West. And ended up with the city being sued and...

The Epic Continues! :shakehead: FROM THE GLOBE & MAIL Divers prepare HMCS Annapolis HMCS Annapolis was a durable destroyer escort in the Canadian navy at a time when Canada was known as a peacekeeper. It was part of an oil-and-arms embargo for almost a month in 1994 after a military coup...

Interesting article....my comments at the end. Artificial reefs raise environmental worries In the midst of an economic downturn, sinking naval vessels for artificial reefs aims to create new ocean habitat and a tourist destination, while also ridding the Navy of outdated ships. But some...

Then who are these other people in the documentaries? This Howie guy does not appear in the " Ship Sinkers" or the British one to my recall. Was he the president that sank the other 4 destroyers and Cape Breton? I assume Wes ( the guy with the beard) is doing the actual sinking. Just...

That is great. It seems none of these opponents has ever actually looked at one of these ships in person after they were cleaned. Is this the same people from Canada I saw on tv sinking a ship in New Zealand? I think they either mentioned the Annapolis or were on it in that show. I know it had...

This is good news! I assume that the agency that controlled the fishery issue was a state/provincial agency so now all you have to do is get the permit from the Canadian version of the EPA?

There is always a problem when any scuba fatality is reported in the news. The press do not " get " diving and the reporters tend to sensationalize every incident.  This accident on the HMCS  Saskatchewan does not appear to have much to do with it being either an artificial reef or wreck. It...

My apology for the multiple posts. I noted that the threads were generally outdated and decided to put the post in every Annapolis thread FTP get the right one. With that out of the way the question is whether there is any truth to what the report says re the project being broke? This...

What gives with this? FROM COAST REPORTER JUNE 24, 2011  CHRISTINE WOOD/STAFF WRITER Save Halkett Bay, a group fighting to keep a destroyer from being sunk in the area, could essentially shut down the Artificial Reef Society of B.C. (ARSBC), according to ARSBC president Howard Robins...
