Best for intermediate divers, 10-21m, boat entry, moderate current.
The CCG Ready is a decommissioned vessel serving as an artificial reef near Gambier and Bowyer Islands. Resting at depths between 10 and 21 metres, the wreck offers a structure for exploration with an average depth of 15 metres. Divers should anticipate moderate currents and visibility ranging from 5 to 10 metres. Due to the potential for boat traffic and entanglement risks, the use of a surface marker buoy is essential. Access is strictly by boat, and dives are best conducted during slack tide. Water temperatures fluctuate significantly throughout the year, ranging from 7C in winter to 19C in summer, necessitating appropriate thermal protection.
