About This Site
The intertwined remains of two historic vessels: the SS Kyzickes, a 346-foot tanker that sank December 1, 1927 while carrying crude oil from Texas to Philadelphia, and the SS Carl Gerhard, a 244-foot Swedish freighter that struck the submerged Kyzickes on September 23, 1929 while carrying phosphate rock from Florida to Baltimore. The Carl Gerhard now rests on top of the Kyzickes, forming the triangle shape that gives this site its name. Located 200 yards offshore in 15-25 feet of water.

Warnings for today

  • Strong winds expected
  • Elevated bacteria levels possible due to recent rainfall

Open Atlantic beach dive fully exposed to north through southeast swells, with south arriving only refracted around the Hatteras arc. Southwest energy is partially reduced while west and west-northwest swells are blocked. Shallow depth means wave energy is felt strongly on the bottom. Best on calm days with offshore winds.
