Ocean City Wreck Diving
The Ocean City Reef Foundation has developed hundreds of artificial reef sites around the Maryland coast line that has created not only a safe haven for marine life but many accessible recreational dive hot spots.
Wreck diving is a type of recreational and technical diving where shipwrecks are explored underwater. Although many wreck dive sites are at shipwrecks, there is an increasing trend to sink retired ships to create artificial reef sites.

A shipwreck is attractive to divers for several reasons;
- it is an artificial reef, which creates a safe haven habitat for many types of marine life
- it often is a large structure with many interesting parts and machinery
- it often has an exciting or tragic history
- it presents new skill challenges for scuba divers
- it may be an important archaeological resource
We recommend that all divers carry a powerful dive light, a safety sausage, a cutting tool and a wreck wheel/line. Along with this, you should get the proper training from a qualified and experienced instructor.
