We tried to dive the Vancouver Sunday. The large yellow buoy is gone. Possibly went missing in Harvey? We normally have the divemaster, monkey down the chain with our mooring line to the deck, due to the high current near the surface.
 
Thanks for posting. I think it is already on the replace list, if not complete already. I'll double check on the status.

No kidding! I have been trying to get out to the Kraken since mid December. It's messing up my data! Stupid weather...

Was the marker buoy on Kraken ever replaced? Seas might be ok this weekend.
 
And the answer is that a yellow marker is chained around the mid-crane at 80'. We had a smooth ride out and back, two dives on the Kraken. Water temp was 70-71, viz was 40-50'. Tons of snapper and AJ, lionfish on the superstructure, lots of fireworms, and a big grouper who is not afraid of divers at all. Be a sport, my spearo friends, and leave this one be.
