From memory, so may be a bit off.

RW - Max depth is around 26m, shallowest point is about 20m

Canterbury - Max depth is about 39m, hanger is it about 27-29m, top of the superstructure is around 18m.

You will need good eyes, as it's a little small, but this is one of the Canturbery Julia has drawn

Hey Tara,

Warrior is max depth 25m to the sand maybe even a little shallower.

Canterbury 36m to the sand round the stern and 32m to the sand on the bow,



Cool cool. I will talk to you later on in the week about getting up there.

sweet! thanks for the depths guys.

[petemes]

Sorry Cameron, I must have posted just as you were!! Same pick.

[petemes]

Also there might be a possibility that a spot might free up on the sunday only to dive teh Canterbury. If anyone is in a position to come up for the day (best to come on sat night for a little "briefing" at the Cow Shed) then hit the wreck hard on sunday LET ME KNOW ASAP. I will know if the spot is available tonight. SO PM me if you are able to do this.

Pretty good drawing she's done hey!? Althought she must have done it before the Navy bent the crows nest up on that crazy angle!

Tied off a bowline on it and the boat in surge literally bent the whole thing upwards would be my guess...

PS: did we find out who was the winner on SDNZ from the 4th Element Competition...?
