Dale Ward Reef AR-455 - 102 US Navy tug PAWTUCKET - North Carolina

The Pawtucket, a US Navy tug, rests as part of the Dale Ward Reef, offering an interesting wreck dive in North Carolina. Expect to explore the structure of the tug itself, which has become an artificial reef. It's a solid dive for those who appreciate wreck penetration and observing how marine life adapts to man-made structures. We'd say it's best for divers comfortable with general wreck diving principles.
