    CharacterReef dive

    The Lennon-Hyde Reef, specifically the AR-386-215 dredge, offers divers a chance to explore a modest artificial reef off North Carolina. Expect to find typical Atlantic reef fish sheltering in and around the dredge’s structure. It's a straightforward dive, well-suited for those looking for an accessible local site without strong currents. We often find juvenile snapper and grouper taking cover here.
