Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - AR-225 - Buoy offers some of North Carolina's richest diving.
The AR-225 Buoy site in North Carolina is an advanced dive, best suited for experienced divers comfortable with deeper wrecks and potential currents. It’s an old fishing trawler, settled on its side, attracting sand tiger sharks and schooling baitfish. Visibility varies, but on a good day, you’ll get a clear view of the wreck’s structure, which holds a surprising amount of detail. The depth means careful bottom time management is key.
