St Cathan
Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - St Cathan offers some of North Carolina's richest diving. Water ranges 12-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
The St. Cathan, a German U-boat casualty, rests in North Carolina's waters. This deeper wreck typically suits experienced divers comfortable with potential currents and lower visibility. While the wreck itself offers interesting structure to explore, expect to see the usual suspects: schooling baitfish, an occasional barracuda, and resident crabs. It’s a classic North Carolina wreck dive.
