Sunk specifically as a training ground for divers, the former Leander Class Frigate the NMNZS Canterbury, designation F421 stands upright in 45m of water in the sheltered bay of Deepwater Cove.
With usually exception conditions and on the verges of the Bay of Islands, this is the best of wreck diving New Zealand has to offer. Departing Opua Harbor, this is a fast 40 minute ride through the picturesque inner Bay of Islands.
