The Anchor
The Anchor is an extremely
large wooden stock anchor from an unknown vessel. This site is a shore dive and can be accessed at "The Gap" - the north end
of Highway # 6 between the church and the Bruce Anchor cottage.
Many people tell us that they were unable to find the anchor. The anchor is immediately in front of the 7th building east
of The Gap. Enter the water and swim east along the wall (towards the Chi Cheemaun dock) starting at a depth of 40'. Follow
the edge of the rock and the silt. Initially, you will swim along a fairly steep wall. However, when you come to a very large
rock standing away from the wall, the wall will flatten out. You are about half way there. Continue following the edge of
the rock and silt. The total swimming distance is about 750'. The anchor is standing upright against the wall at a depth of
60'.
