The load master went back to inspect the cargo door, in that process the cargo door became unlatched and opened in flight. The load master returned to the cockpit and the crew decided to divert to Norman Wells,NT (Canada) where the aircraft landed without further incident.

Maintenance found no issue with the door latching mechanism, the door had been improperly latched on the ground prior to departure.
