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).
