About Mandy Ray Wreck
Mandy Ray Wreck is a Long Island artificial-reef dive that rewards divers who like a simple, readable wreck and steady reef-fish action. The wreck sits upright and basically intact, so the dive naturally follows the outside of the hull with optional looks into the wheelhouse and other openings. Boat access is the normal way in, and the site works best when you are comfortable with changing Atlantic conditions, depth, and a wreck-centered charter plan.
