Best for advanced divers, 27-35m, boat entry, moderate current.
The U-352 is a German Type VIIC submarine sunk in 1942, resting upright on a sandy bottom at a maximum depth of 35 metres. Located 56 kilometres offshore from Morehead City, this site is an advanced dive requiring boat access. The wreck is largely intact, offering opportunities for penetration for those with appropriate wreck certification. Divers must manage significant depth, moderate currents, and variable visibility that can range from 3 to 35 metres. Due to the overhead environment, entanglement risks, and heavy boat traffic, divers should use a surface marker buoy and monitor their ascent closely. Nitrox is recommended to extend bottom time at this deep site.
