    CharacterReef dive

    The Tom McGlammery Reef AR-420 is a decommissioned YSD barge resting off North Carolina. It’s a pretty simple wreck, not huge, but it still draws in schooling baitfish and a few larger predators like amberjacks. This site is a solid choice for newer wreck divers or anyone looking for a relaxed, shallow dive. It’s a good spot to practice your navigation without too much to worry about.
