More Cultus fun

[DaleC]

Here's a 10 minute video of Slamfire and I diving the west side of Cultus around the old CFB Chilliwack training site. From about 1945 to present this is one of two Canadian locations for sappers (engineers) to practice wet gap maneuvers. Go Pro mounted on my UK light cannon, no lens correction.

I thought I herd a boat above and There it was on shore. no one kept up on the docks, and it looks like it was a boating destination. Overall a pretty neat lake dive.

I believe that is a 72 vintage Matel brand wreck you brought to the surface, and its funny how things appear bigger down under.

Thanks for the post Dale. Memories of my time in Vedder Crossing...

The boat was one of several pleasure craft operating on the lake - it is usually so quiet that any sound travels. As good weather approaches Cultus becomes a gong show and diving gets limited to one of several buoyed off areas. Even then it's a toss up and I always plan to ascend close to shore. Using a flag doesn't help as they boaters will come in to see what it is or to do slalom runs around it.

Wayne, after finding some MkIII wreckage I joined the military historical society to use their archives; a lot of history there. Were you a combat diver there? Also, can you tell me what this shoulder flash represents? I thought the double hose was a nice touch.
