We spent Monday traveling up to Paihia so by the time Tuesday<\/p>\n
morning rolled around we were all bright eyed and bushy tailed rearing<\/p>\n
to go. \u00a0For a lot of us this would be our first wreck dive so you could<\/p>\n
sense the excitement amongst the group! The weather was marginable<\/p>\n
at best but with our boat Whakaari Express an 8.5 meter rib with twin<\/p>\n
200\u2019s on the back the wind was not an issue!! Once out at deepwater<\/p>\n
cove we were ready to dive the HMNZS Canterbury!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Rolling into the water you could just tell that this was going to be\u00a0awesome.<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t think anything could\u2019ve prepared me for what I was<\/p>\n
seeing. \u00a0Slowly descending down the mooring line this was phenomenal.<\/p>\n
We had about 20 meters worth of visibility so everything looked<\/p>\n
amazing!! As the ship came into view we were all in awe, seeing this<\/p>\n
huge Navy ship sitting on the bottom of the ocean was just<\/p>\n
unbelievable. Swimming along to the bow hovering just above the ship<\/p>\n
all we could see was endless blue, huge schools of fish were off the<\/p>\n
front of the boat with the odd kingfish flying through the schools<\/p>\n
catching their dinner.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On our way back to the accent line we swam around the ship looking<\/p>\n
into all the doorways and passageways. Even swimming right into the<\/p>\n
bridge posing for a few photos. After we had ascended and done our<\/p>\n
safety stops we were all back on board, everyone was buzzing about their dives<\/p>\n
and super EXCITED!!! to jump in for the second!<\/p>\n
