DIVE PROFILE
Experience Level: Novice-Intermediate
Depth: 65 ft.
Visibility: Generally 15-20 feet
Summer Temperature: 76-82 degrees
Dive Notes: The Fenwick Isle is in 65 feet of water about 15 miles southeast of the Beaufort Inlet and a mile southwest from the Knuckle Buoy. The Fenwick Isle is intact lying on her port side rising to 35 feet from the surface.
Because she is so close to the shoals, visibility is usually 15-20 feet. The water temperature is usually in the upper 70's to low 80's in the summer. Sheephead, spadefish, sea bass, grouper, and flounder can be seen on this wreck. There is an "S" welded to the smokestack that is surrounded by small pegs.
