Bamfield Wreck Trek

Friday, April 10, 2026 (All day) - Sunday, April 12, 2026 (All day)

Vanlene aground Austin Island

 

Barkley Sound is the current UASBC project area. The goal is to visit several wreck sites depending on weather conditions. The Mascotte was a salvage vessel that caught fire and burnt in Pachena Bay in 1895. If conditions permit, we hope to visit the freighter Tuscan Prince lost during a storm in 1923. The Vanlene loaded with Dodge Colt cars is always a group favorite.

 

If time permits, we will explore the remnants of the Effingham Mystery Wreck.We will stay at a house on Grappler Inlet and dive with Ocean Emerald Charters.

 

We will travel to Bamfield on Friday afternoon April 10th.

 

Charter and accommodation estimate is $500, air and meals will be on top of that.

 

Maximum 10 divers. Some surge conditions can be expected on these dives so bring gravol.
