KEY POINTS:
The former Navy frigate Canterbury will now be scuttled as a diving and marine tourism attraction in Northland on Saturday, November 3.
The trust behind the project has confirmed the new date after it postponed the frigate's scheduled sinking just inside the entrance to the Bay of Islands last Saturday due to forecast poor weather and related safety issues.
The 113-metre Canterbury will be sunk in Deep Water Cove by a series of explosive charges but it must be correctly positioned in a wind of less than 15 knots for it to hit the seabed in a pre-planned location.
