HMNZS Canterbury (Wreck)
★★★★★
(1,000)
The HMNZS Canterbury was decommissioned at the end of March 2005 and was scuttled on 3 November 2007 at Deep Water Cove in the Bay of Islands, making for a great artificial reef wreck dive.
The exterior has an increasing amount of growth and marine life on it due to the Rahui (Marine protected area) which has been placed over Deep Water Cove.
