15Dixie Arrow
An oil tanker sunk in WWII. It has a lot of different fish and is sometimes frequented by Sand Tiger sharks. There are usually lots of rays as well as fish hiding in the wreck. It takes two dives to see everything. The wheel house is off the wreck and visible, as are most of the engines and boilers. You can swim through some parts of the wreck, but the real draw is the amount of marine life. Sometimes there is a current, but usually there is none. Temperatures are fairly warm since it is in the gulf stream. Wet suits are not necessary due to this. Boat only. They usually leave from the Inlet near the Ocracoke Ferry.
