At a max depth of 53 m the Coastal Freighter MV (Motor Vessel) G.B Church is an artificial reef sunk in August 1991 within the Princess Margaret Marine Park off Portland Island near Sidney, British Columbia, on Vancouver Island. The site was selected when she was sunk for its close proximity to local dive shop operators to enable positive economic spin-offs from the new diving attraction, and for a flat sandy bottom on which to land the ship. On this sandy bottom the ship became quickly overgrown and inhabited with rich marine life including octopus and wolf eels and today is testimonial to the positive environmental impact that artificial reefs have on the marine ecosystem. This is one of the most well known dives in this region and provides safe wreck diving for enthusiasts.
