HMNZS Wellington was sunk off the south coast of Wellington, New Zealand, at Island Bay. The ship is now a wreck for the use of divers for about 100 years until the ship has rusted away. While the ship was due to be sunk at 3pm, 12 November 2005, this was delayed for 24 hours due to less than optimal weather conditions needed for the operation.

The next day, the sinking was delayed by another 30 minutes due to the entanglement of a detonation cable under the frigate. At 3:30pm, 13 November 2005 in front of a crowd of thousands the ship was scuttled and took a mere minute and 55 seconds to sink.

During a storm in February 2006 the ship broke up further and is now lying in two sections on the seabed close to where it was sunk.

The HMNZS Wellington, a Leander class frigate was sunk and thanks to a storm as predicted it broke up and is now in 2 pieces.
It is a diving attraction if you can arrive on a day when it is safe to dive. Be prepared to spend a few days in Wellington as the weather is unpredictable at this time of year
