About this site
The Yukon Wreck lies off Mission Beach near San Diego, California, in Southern California waters. It is a former Canadian naval destroyer that was deliberately scuttled to form an artificial reef and now rests on a sand bottom offshore. The site reaches a maximum depth of around 25 metres and is generally considered an intermediate dive, with the wreck itself forming the main structure divers explore.
