Just off the coast of San Diego, within sight of Mission Beach, lie a number of shipwrecks, downed planes, and carcasses of mans engineering over the ocean. The crown jewel is the Canadian Destroyer, HMCS Yukon, which was sunk as an artificial reef at the turn of the most recent century. Shes not alone, as the bottom of this stretch of water is littered with the Ruby E, a popular artificial reef sitting upright at 80 feet, or the P-38 vintage airplane that was ditched by its pilot. The NOSC Tower, the substructure of an old marine research facility, is the perfect introductory dive for the novice wreck diver. All are just minutes off the coast.

This day, we are wrapping up a weekend of wreck diving, including completing the PADI Wreck Diver specialty course, with our last dive on the Yukon. On previous dives we mapped the wreck, noting the entry points carved into the ships hull for easy penetration. We explored the guns at the bow of the ship and observed the white, fluffy metridium anemones clinging to its frame. On our last dive, we practiced laying penetration lines up and down the wreck to prevent getting disoriented and simulated a decompression stop from the hang bottle; the Yukon is a deep dive sitting on its side in 100 feet of water. But this dive is special; we are going into an overhead environment for the first time.

Eco Dive Center offers the Wreck Weekend Trips -- including 2 days of diving and a nights hotel stay -- and the PADI Wreck Diver specialty course several times a year.
