Why dive here
With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Theodore Parker Wreck offers some of North Carolina's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 12-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
Theodore Parker Wreck, off the coast of North Carolina, is a solid dive for those who appreciate history beneath the waves. The wreck itself is pretty broken up, but you can still make out the stern and parts of the engine room if you poke around. She’s become a home for a good number of sand tiger sharks, often circling the deeper sections, and we’ve seen some decent-sized Atlantic goliath grouper here too. It’s an accessible wreck dive, though currents can pick up, so keep an eye on conditions. We reckon it’s a good choice for advanced recreational divers looking for that classic Carolina wreck vibe without extreme depths.
