Scuba Diving in British Columbia, Canada

Dive Site: "HMCS Cape Breton" Wreck

Location: Nanaimo

The former HMCS Cape Breton, is Canada's largest diver-prepared artificial reef and the second largest in the world!
This former WWII Victory ship was sunk on October 21, 2001, and the keel sits at 42 meters (140 feet) and is accessible to most divers. Given this ship has only been under for 6 years, there is not as much life as on the Saskatchewan. However, every day and every dive brings new creatures so you will want to dive this each year to see how fast things change under water.

Diving to the keel at 140 feet and penetrating this carefully prepared wreck should only be attempted by advanced divers who are properly trained and certified.
