When I started diving in the early 80's in southern BC around the Kootenays I was rabid to dive anywhere. To find dive sites I had great success talking to the non-diving old timers in the area. They pointed me to some pretty interesting areas in their recollections of old ferry landings, old mine sites, old logging camps and the like. It seems that wherever people go they dump stuff in the water (accidentally or on purpose) and these sites always proved to be fascinating. I think I was one of the first to dive some of those sites.
So you're the guy that got all the good stuff from Kootenay Lake. Got any CPR china? The Moyie museum in Kaslo is looking for pieces. We were did some searching for the museum earlier this month at places like Ainsworth, Kaslo, etc. but didn't find anything worthwhile.
Ask around, there is a lake north of yellowknife where two WWII planes landed in winter, low on fuel, and were left to sink due to cost of fuel versus scrap. Aparently you can see them from the air, THAT would be a dive.
