Overview

Suggest edit

The HMCS Saskatchewan is a former Canadian naval destroyer that was intentionally sunk in 1997 to create an artificial reef. It lies upright on the ocean floor and is a popular dive site for exploring marine life and the ship's structure.

Divers can explore the ship's various decks and compartments, encountering diverse marine life such as anemones, rockfish, and occasionally larger species. The wreck provides an exciting dive experience with opportunities for both penetration and exterior exploration.
