 Southern Vancouver Island – Trip to search for the wreck of the sailing barque Rosalia, lost off the southern tip of Discovery Island in March 1868. Our second dive will be off Gonzales Reef in Enterprise Channel to try relocate more remains of the yacht Discovery Isle lost in 1950. We searched for the Discovery Isle in November2015 and found a few bits and pieces including a hawse pipe. The goal is to find the engine and shaft. You can  learn about the Discovery Isle by visiting Mark Heiberts web site “victoriadiving.awardspace.com” There may be some current during the second dive but we will be using a live boat for pickup.
