Diving the ex HMAS Canberra promises to be some of the most adventurous scuba diving you may ever do. VARS is working hard to see the ex HMAS Canberra is prepared, positioned and sunk as an artificial reef and dive wreck in Victoria.

The Victorian Artificial Reef Society (VARS) is a non-profit, dive community group working towards the goal that quite soon you will be able to come and dive the ex HMAS Canberra as an artificial reef and wreck site in Victoria, Australia.

The Federal Government has advised the Victorian Government and the contractor, Birdon Marine, that a new scuttling "target date" of Saturday, 12th September 2009 has been determined for the sinking of the ex HMAS Canberra.

You can read about the current status of the project, plus watch a video of the story so far, on the Sink the Canberra web page.
