    CharacterReef dive

    The Tug Captain Tom, part of the Billy Murrell Reef, sits in North Carolina waters. It's a solid dive for those looking to explore a smaller wreck and the artificial reef structure around it. Expect to see typical Atlantic reef fish and some resident crustaceans making homes in the metal. It’s a good option for divers comfortable with moderate depths and looking for something beyond a natural reef.
