The Yukon Wreck is a popular dive site located off the coast of San Diego, California. This artificial reef was created by sinking the former Canadian naval destroyer HMCS Yukon in 2000. It provides an exciting dive experience with abundant marine life and interesting structures to explore.

Divers can explore the wreck, which lies upright on the ocean floor. The site features various entry points into the wreck, allowing divers to navigate through the interior and observe the marine life that has made the wreck its home. The surrounding area also offers opportunities to see kelp forests and other marine habitats.
