After discovering this beautiful wreck in the Bay of Islands, I have been on a bit of a mission to try and see the whole thing....and video it all!

I found when I was cutting my teeth as a newby wreck diver that I felt a lot more comfortable when I knew where I was going. Hopefully these vids will provide people with a bit of forward route knowledge to help with their progression.

This is a very cool route through 1 deck from the Heli Hanger on the aft end of 1 deck, to the CO and offices cabin flat forward. The desk is around 28m deep so one of the shallower penetrations on the Canterbury.

I hope your enjoy, and don’t forget to subscribe for more dives through this wreck!
