Naeco

Picture
On March 23, 1942, the 411-foot Naeco went down in a fiery mess at the hands of yet another German U-boat (U-124) attack in World War II. Today, the ship sits in two distinct pieces about a mile apart some 38 nautical miles due south of Morehead City. This wreck, which sits in an average of 140 feet with clear, warm Gulf Stream water being the standard conditions here, it appeals to those divers who don’t mind the deeper depths.
Naeco is Ocean spelled backwards.
Dive Site Info
Diving Depths: 125-145 ft.
Visibility: Generally very good; range 60 to 100+ ft.
Current: Slight to moderate
Summer Temperature: high 70s to low 80s
Points of Interest: Stern: Boilers, engine, stern anchor, rudder/steering quadrant; Bow: port anchor; bow point
Fish/Animal Life: Both sections have large variety of tropical fish; large schools of baitfish are more prevelent on stern; african pampano, amberjack, grouper, sandtiger sharks. In 2000, the stern section of the Naeco was location of the first sightings of the invasive pacific species lionfish in North Carolina waters. It is now quite common in the area
Due to depth we will only be taking experienced divers that have the certification for both 150ft or deeper and deco diving.  Large doubles or CCR recommended.
