About U-352 (Wreck)
U-352 is a German World War II submarine wreck off North Carolina, listing heavily to starboard on a sandy bottom. It is one of the coast's best-known wreck dives because the hull is still largely intact and the site draws dense reef-fish life around the structure. Plan it as a deeper wreck dive with overhead-environment awareness rather than a casual sightseeing stop.
