The rubble is a good checkout location and as such can be rather crowded at times. The current can be an issue here for novice divers. Fish are plenty and I've seen loggerhead sea turtles on numerous trips here. I've not seen any sharks but others have.

Although the boat ride to this wonderful site is long (2 hours from Wilmington) it is well worth the trip. From the hang bar we could see the sand (105-110ft). Great spot for spear fishing, lobster, photography. Great for the adv/nitrox diver, don't even try it without nitrox you won't have enough bottom time to appreciate it. Great for tech divers too.
