Sad news

[Hyper-limits]

For those who haven't heard yet, Ken from Divers Choice Charters lost his boat in a fire yesterday. Ken was alone on the boat and was rescued. DCC was a favorite boat to many on the West Coast.

Sorry to hear that. I hope that Ken was insured and that he wasn't injured in the incident.

Oh man, what a loss of a beautiful boat. My best to Ken and his wife and I hope they can get back up and running soon.

Thanks for posting this Hyper-limits.

That sucks, ya it was a great boat and he is a great captain.

Thats a loss to divers in the area especially those who travel from the US to dive the wrecks in Nanaimo. There is not a lot of choice for dive boat charters in Nanaimo. I think there are only a couple of charter operators, Sundown Diving and Just Dive In Adventures.

Sorry to hear that. I hope that Ken was insured and that he wasn't injured in the incident.

Rumour is that he wasn't and he wasn't.

This is bad news for divers from all over Western Canada and the PNW. Divers Choice was the best day operator running in the Nanaimo area.

Sad news indeed. Hopefully Ken will get back in the game, I always enjoyed my trips with him.

Terrible news. The photo in the paper is sickening; I can see where I geared up for great diving just a few weeks ago. We in the greater Seattle area are very grateful Ken is OK and we do hope he will recover his charter operation.

Wow - very sad news. Thankfully everyone is ok. Ken always ran a great charter operation and hopefully he'll be back bigger and even better.
