Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Meares Harriss Reef AR-370 - 135 barge offers some of North Carolina's richest reef diving. Water ranges 12-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
This barge, part of the Meares Harriss artificial reef, sits upright and largely intact. Its structure attracts a good range of baitfish, which in turn brings in larger pelagics like barracuda and amberjack. It’s a straightforward dive, suitable for divers comfortable with open water. We often find good visibility here, making it a solid choice for a second or third dive of the day.
