About This Dive Spot
The U-352 is a German submarine that was launched in 1941 and sank on May 9, 1942, after being attacked by depth charges from the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Icarus, located south of Morehead City, North Carolina. The wreck rests at a depth of approximately 35 meters and is positioned at a 45-degree angle to the starboard side. This site has transformed into an artificial reef, attracting a variety of marine life, particularly colorful ray-finned fish from the subfamily Anthiinae, as well as groupers and sea bass.
