Bruce Rush Reef - North Carolina

Bruce Rush Reef sits off the North Carolina coast, a classic example of the region's hard bottom ledges. You'll often find a good number of sand tiger sharks cruising the deeper sections, especially in late summer. It's a solid choice for divers looking for a reliable shark encounter without venturing too far offshore. Visibility can be hit or miss, typical of the area, so pick your day carefully.
