Dale Ward Reef AR-455 - Buoy - North Carolina

The Dale Ward Reef, often known simply by its buoy marker, is one of North Carolina’s artificial reef sites. Here, you’ll find a mix of materials sunk to create habitat, attracting the usual suspects for this region: amberjack, grouper, and various schooling fish. It’s a good choice for divers looking for a straightforward wreck dive without extreme depths or strong currents. We’d suggest it for divers comfortable with basic navigation and wanting to explore the local fish population.
