Victorian Artificial Reef Society (VARS)

Diving the ex HMAS Canberra promises to be some of the most adventurous scuba diving you may ever do. But first we have to ensure that the Victorian and Australian Governments will actually make it happen.

The Victorian Artificial Reef Society (VARS), is a dive community group which was formed early in 2006 with the objective to secure, prepare, position and scuttle the ex HMAS Canberra as an artificial reef and wreck dive location in Victorian waters. VARS is working with the Federal and State Governments and their agencies to make this happen.

All major groups in the Victorian Scuba Diving Industry have recognised VARS as their voice on all matters relating to official Artificial Reefs in Victorian waters and are completely in support of the project.
