Ex-HMAS Canberra

QUEENSCLIFF, Victoria

The ex-HMAS Canberra, a former warship which served the Australian Navy between 1981 and 2005, is the first artificial reef in Victoria created specifically for diving. The vessel was scuttled off Barwon Heads in October 2009 and now lies in approximately 28 metres of water.

The dive site offers divers the opportunity to explore a large portion of the ex-HMAS Canberra, including flight decks, bridge, engine rooms, galley and the accommodation quarters. Over time marine life will continue to colonise the wreck, transforming it into a spectacular reef.

Access to the site is limited to visitors who are participating in diving or snorkelling activities only.
