The former Navy Frigate Canterbury F421
now rests in Deep Water cove near Cape Brett, upright
and intact she makes for an impressive sight in a great
dive location!
Divers hit the bow in about 18m and can swim through
the bridge to the helicopter hanger at 23m. The upper
deck,
bridge and first floor levels are easily within recreational
diving range. The lower levels are for the more advanced
with the stern resting in aprox 36m. Fish are already
making the HMNZS Canterbury home with resident schools
in the bridge and around the funnel. These are just the
beginning as the location of the Navy Frigate
will ensure it quickly becomes a haven for dozens of
fish
species.

Dive the Rainbow Warrior, one of
New Zealand’s premiere wreck dives;
The Rainbow Warrior was Greenpeace’s flagship on its way to protest France’s
nuclear testing on the Mururoa Atoll when it was sunk by French saboteurs on
July 10, 1985, in Auckland Harbour. Three years after the bombing Greenpeace
gifted the Warrior to the sea and she now lies as an artificial reef in the
Cavalli Island group, a refuge for the marine life she was sunk trying to protect.
At a max depth of 27m the Warrior is now home to a huge variety of aquatic
life and is a world renowned dive site.
The Warrior is an amazing dive
and truly is the ‘Jewel of the North’.
“When man has destroyed the world through his greed, the Warriors of the
Rainbow will arise to save it again”.
