Description

This is the wreck that most of the people first come to North Carolina to dive. The wreck is small and intact and can be circumnavigated a couple of times during a normal dive. It is sitting on its keel, with a strong (45 degree?) list to the starboard side. Most of what you see on the bottom is the remains of the pressure hull. The U-boat's outer casing has, for the most part, rusted away. For experienced NC divers, the biggest challenge of the U-352 is waiting for the boat captain to hook the wreck. It's small size and rounded edges make it the one the captains love to hate. New NC divers, however, beware. For some reason, over the years, the U-352 has claimed more that its fair share of diving accidents and fatalities.

Personal notes

Great wreck. I love it although some people are calling it just another thin can. The wreck is small so very easy to navigate, usualy with tons of tropical fish. Great opportunity for photography. I have seen angel fish, eels end even once a huge manta ray (yes, the one with flaps in front).

Beware, the wreck is DEEP so, plane for your second dive. The usual time spent on the wreck is 20 - 30 minutes. I love it so much that usualy I stay about 40 - 45.
