This is a really cool dive!!! Where else can you dive through a 737 airplane? Access is by boat only. One bouy to tie to. The other 2 mark the nose and the tail of the plane. The depth is about 80’. There was a bit of a surface current, but if you go down the bouy line it is easy to find. The fuselage has been gutted except for the head (complete with toilet), the overhead bins, and the cockpit. There was a Ling cod and another rockfish in the cockpit when we went through. Not sure which one was pilot and which was co-pilot :) More info on this dive and other wrecks in BC can be found at the Artificial Reef Society of B.C’s website
