The U-352 was a German submarine that was used during the notorious U-boat attacks during WWII along the NC Coast. On May 9, 1942 it was sunk by the Coast Guard Cutter 'Icarus.' This site was discovered in 1974 by Olympus owner and Captain, George Purifoy, and several friends. The history behind this site has been televised and featured on the History® Channel, and is one of North Carolina's best known dive sites.

The Coast Guard Cutter Spar was sunk as a diver friendly wreck just yards from the Aeolus. Known as a popular spot for Sand Tiger Sharks, the 180 feet long and 37 feet wide Spar sits on its site at a 45 degree angle in 100 feet of water and is completely intact, allowing many opportunities for a diver to penetrate the wreck.

The Indra is a popular inshore wreck. Sitting in only 60 feet of water, it allows for longer penetration and exploration. This wreck is also extremely popular for training dives as the deck is in approximately 40-45 feet of water. This 300-foot landing ship/repair freighter is sitting in approximately 60 fsw about 10 miles off Emerald Isle. This freighter was sunk as an artificial reef on August 4, 1992. This dive is loaded with aquatic life and ideal for penetration dives! Also, a EXCELLENT site for training.
