Great Wreck In addition to the other reviews, here's my comments: 50' to stern deck, 80' to sand, mostly in tact, easy nav, 30' vis. Several people went to sand and collected sharks teeth. We saw many tiger sharks, amberjacks, groupers and a several smaller fish. Our dive was mid June. Most people in our group wore 3-5mm wetsuits (I wore a 1 mm and hoodie and was comfortable, I'm average size). This was my dad's 2nd dive after certifying and we both had a great experience on the Hyde. I would take my 12 year old son on this dive to the deck (but not to sand). We used Aquatic Safaries. This was a great dive shop! They accommodated every request including my request for 3 dives to specific sites next month, Nitrox cert and AWARE reef conservation specialty on MY schedule, very professional & friendly. They are worth the drive from Annapolis, MD. -Marlene

Cool swimthroughs an hour ride from Wilmington A great NC dive, only a hour boat ride out of Wilmington. About 80 feet deep, the Hyde has lots of swim throughs that are open and have fully visible exits. Easy to navigate wreck. The water can be cold, reaching the mid 70s in July. Vis can be hit or miss, from 20-60 feet probably average.

Easy dive with lots of options The Hyde has everything. Lots of wildlife, intact penetrable structure, and just a slight current to make things interesting.
