Heading down the anchor line I told myself that this had the makings of a great dive. The water was clear and blue. The visibility was easily 70 ft. The Seaquest II was tied into the German U-boat U-352. The U-352 made the mistake of firing a torpedo at the USCG cutter Icarus in 1942. The crew of the Icarus responded and sank the aggressor U-Boat. It came to rest on a white sand bottom in 115 fsw. Going down the line the wreck was obscured by schools of small fish. They were blocking my view! Eighteen people had made the 9 hour drive to Beaufort North Carolina. We had three days planned diving the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Bathed in clear, warm Gulf Stream water this area offers spectacular dive sites in great conditions. It is definitely worth the trip down here. We were treated to great wrecks and a variety of sea life- stingrays, moray eels, lots of lionfish, sand tiger sharks, and barracuda Click here for the rest of the story |
