From Coastal Scuba website:
"This artificial reef lies in 62 feet of water just off the coast of North Myrtle Beach. The 130 foot tug is sitting upright with the top at about 30 feet and bottoms out at 62 feet. This dive consistently produces the best inshore dive visibility. In the three seasons that it’s been underwater, the tug has attracted a wide assortment of wildlife. Typical species include Barracudas, Spanish Mackeral, Spade Fish, Black Sea Bass, and Gobies."
Ropes from the bow of the tug lead to several armored personnel carriers nearby. There are also several concrete pipes that have been placed around the tug for swim thrus.
