HMNZS Canterbury Wreck

-
This products Overview
Explore the HMNZS Canterbury, the impressive 113 metre ex-naval frigate that lies in Deep Water Cove
- The ship sits perfectly upright with the propellers being in close to 40 metres
- She was purposely sunk in 2007 as an artificial reef, with the entire bay designated as a 'no-take' zone in an attempt to encourage marine life on the wreck
- As she is upright, she is fairly easy to navigate and the outer deck can be explored over two dives
- The wreck is covered in life, despite only being sunk just over a decade ago
- Schools of Maomao, Snapper, Kingfish are common
- Not uncommon to see dolphins in Deep Water Cove
- Like the Waikato Wreck, the Canterbury can be penetrated and explored from within, including a swim through from the bridge through to the hangar
- As this is a deeper dive site, it is not recommended for Open Water Divers however this dive, when completed with an instructor, can be counted towards an Advanced Certification
- Typically leaves from Opua Marina
- The trip is approximately 45 minutes from Opua Marina
