Schurz Wreck - North Carolina

The Schurz Wreck, off North Carolina, offers a respectable look into the state's storied wreck diving. It’s a good, solid dive, sitting upright and largely intact. We often find schools of baitfish shimmering over the decks, sometimes with a few hefty amberjack circling the superstructure. Penetration is possible for trained wreck divers in some areas, but even staying on the exterior reveals plenty, from the propeller to the bow section. It's a dive that rewards careful exploration, particularly for those who appreciate maritime history and the slow reclamation by the ocean.
