GUE Team Wellington Scooter from Shore Wreck dive!

Everyone loves to dive a wreck but it takes a certain amount of skill and ingenuity to scooter there, make the dive and come back to where you started!

HMNZS Wellington was a Leander class frigate of the Royal Navy and the Royal New Zealand Navy (RNZN). Originally commissioned in 1969 for the Royal Navy as HMS Bacchante, she joined the RNZN in 1982. She was decommissioned in 1999 and sunk in 2005.

The guys made their entry with scooter mounted compasses and navigated their way out to the Wreck of the F69. She along with the HMNZ Canterbury were purpose sunk as both dive attractions and artificial reefs.

 

Great dive by the looks of it. Huge effort from all involved, Bring on the rest of 2016!
