Aeolus (Wreck)
★★★★☆
(436)
The Aeolus is a great wreck dive. It is usually dive #2 after U-352. It is still about a 20-mile ride from Beaufort, NC. The bottom is about 100 feet deep, but where you hover most of the time is about 90 feet. There is an abundance of fish and Grey Nurse Sharks. (aka, Sand Tiger Sharks.)
The hull is wide open, and you can easily get in & out of it. I was in awe of how many fish and sharks were there. If you like wrecks, put this on your list.
