Diving the James C. King in Tobermory

[MSLD]

Took a couple of weekdays off and went to Tobermory. Conditions were fabulous! Nice change from Calgary diving.

Dove it last summer. No, not much left of it, but the Roman Numerals for draft depth are just so cool. Thanks for sharing. Vis sure was nice on your dive.

The roman numerals were the highlight. Really unique feature that makes the wreck a must dive in that area.

Pretty close to the same temperature as Forgetmenot Pond in Kananaskis, similar visability and far more to look at!

Scuba Steve,
If you are referring to the apparent vis in my picture, it is a little deceptive. I was MUCH closer to the wreck than it would seem from the picture. It is actually a composite of 14 individual pictures to make the panorama. The pictures were taken about 15 to 20 feet from the wreck. They were then stitched together and Photoshop was used remove the "fisheye-like" distortion and cropped and tilted so that the photo would fit in a rectangle. As you know the wreck is actually on an incline from 20 to 90 feet of depth. The panorama makes it look like it is flat and level on the bottom.

However, I like the photo.
