October 6-7 2007 - Russian (Kolkhosnik) and Sandy Cove

We headed down to Halifax for shopping and a few dives.

On day 1, we did a dive at Sandy Cove.. very quiet place to dive! Not a lot to see or depth there, but fun to chase out all the flounder.

On day 2 we met up with Skipper Dave to dive the Russian shipwreck (Kolkhosnik). Very nice dive, water temp is good.. 40's? Viz was a bit low perhaps for this wreck, ~30ft. But we enjoyed a nice tour out to see the stern gun, back through the ship boilers, and finally to spend a few minutes on the tanks scattered about on the bow.
