It was an exciting day when this graceful ship was placed in deep water to begin her life as one of the largest diving wrecks on the Pacific Coast.

The Artificial Reef Society of BC, along with many Sunshine Coast locals, attended the sinking of The Chaud that day in December 1992.

Sunk to a depth of 55-140 feet, The Chaudiere is a retired destroyer now making her mark as an artificial reef. The 366 foot Chaud is home to a wide variety of sea life and provides recreational and advanced divers with an opportunity to explore a diverse underwater environment.

If you are into discovery, this is the dive for you!
