It takes less than an hour by boat from Lunenburg, N.S., to an underwater diving attraction that a coalition of divers and artificial reef experts is hoping will soon expand into an international diving destination.
The volunteer diving crew left the waterfront of Lunenburg in search of a potential area where a new artificial reef could sit on the Atlantic ocean floor.Angelopoulos was one of four Nova Scotia divers who recently travelled to the site of the sunken HMCS Saguenay. The steel warship was turned into an artificial reef when it settled onto the bottom of the ocean floor in the summer of 1994.
The Cormorant was decommissioned in 1997 and exchanged hands through a few companies before being sold to the Port of Bridgewater for a nominal sum. It’s been secured in its current location on the LaHave River since 2000. “There’s nothing like dropping underwater, going down 60, 70, 80 feet and all of a sudden seeing a military frigate coming into focus,” Angelopoulos said.“That was a flat ocean bottom. It’s completely flat, there’s nothing down there except scallop shells, a bit of seaweed, there aren’t even any rocks,” diver David Pate said.
Sounds like a great idea divers can check out the shipwreck called the Trudeau liberals party
