With 42+ marine species recorded in the area - including sea turtles - Yaupon Beach Reef AR-425 - Floating Drydock offers some of North Carolina's richest reef diving. Water ranges 12-28°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Floating Drydock, part of North Carolina's AR-425 Yaupon Beach Reef, offers a solid wreck dive for those exploring the area. We’ve found it sits around 20-25 meters, attracting schooling baitfish and amberjack, especially in warmer months. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, it’s a straightforward dive suitable for advanced open water divers looking for a bit of structure. Expect to see typical Atlantic species like sheepshead and sometimes even loggerhead turtles cruising by.
