For me there\u2019s no better adrenalin rush then descending to great depths knowing you\u2019re about to see something that belongs above sea level, submerged underwater, from boats to cars and even tanks from ww2 can be found. Every time I wreck dive my heart pounds with excitement. I still remember as a PADI Advanced Openwater Diver doing my first wreck dive on the HMNZS Canterbury. This wreck dive is an ex naval ship now an artificial reef up at the Bay of Islands. I\u2019d never been on a navy ship before yet I never thought the day I\u2019d step foot or fin on one I\u2019d be kitted up in full scuba gear exploring it underwater with my mates. It\u2019s something most people will never get to experience in their life.<\/div>\n

I find wreck diving such a fun experience because not only can I see amazing colours and huge amounts of fish, but with every wreck you\u2019ll begin to realise that they all have their own special place in history and each wreck\u00a0has its own amazing story. I remember diving the Rainbow Warrior for the first time.<\/div>\n
Little did I know I was in the midst of a wreck that had been bombed by French spies in 1985 as an act to scare green peace activist, sadly claiming the life of one of the crewmen. It was quite an intense yet amazing dive which I\u2019ll never forget.<\/div>\n
