SCRIPPS CANYON
Scripps Canyon is a deep canyon off of La Jolla.
HMCS YUKON - DEPTH ~70ft - 105ft
HMCS Yukon is a 366' Canadian destroyer escort. The San Diego Oceans Foundation acquired, cleaned, and prepared her for her second life as an artificial reef. In June of 2000, the Yukon unexpectedly went down the night before her planned sinking. As a result of her unplanned descent, she now lays on her Port side in about 100' of water. Her deck lies between 65'-75’. There are large cutouts that were initially set up for divers to penetrate safely. However, since she now rests on her port side penetration is not recommended unless you are properly trained and certified to do so. The Yukon is a large ship and will take several dives to become acquainted with. Sea life is abundant on this wreck. As you descend you will see the characteristic blacksmith and señorita fish. Her sides and deck are blanketed with large white sea anemones called Metridiums. If you have a Primary light, bring it, the colors will really pop out! While on the wreck you may encounter sea lions, harbor seals, rockfish, large crabs, and several species of perch, and bass. Diving the Yukon is a great way to scuba dive San Diego, and Marissa Charters is here to give you that experience!
Diver Seat (8 remaining) $135.00
