Halkett Park Project

Underwater Council of British Columbia

Freedom Diving Systems successfully installed a rock‐bolt anchor system on Halkett Pinnacle, adjacent to the glass sponge reef, which will secure the future UCBC Divers Mooring Buoy at this site. This installation marks a major milestone in the UCBC’s ongoing Halkett Park project.

What they’re saying about Freedom Diving Systems

Freedom Diving Systems were keenly aware of the sensitive habitat near the install location. Numerous preparation dives were performed to install rock‐climbing gear to install a temporary mooring line for the work vessel, as well as bottom floats which kept lines and hoses clear of the reef.
