    18 Fathom Wreck

    Would very much appreciate if someone could post GPS coordinates for this wreck (it is about 40 miles out of Cape Fear Inlet). And if you have any experience diving it, would like to hear about it. Thks.

    It is a great wreck. You need to buy the Maps Unique Chart. It has somewhat accurate numbers for all the wrecks and a lot of hard bottom numbers. I was on the 18 Fathom with AS out of Wilmington in January a few years back. It was covered in Sand Tigers. I don't have verified numbers because Tortuga has never been there, but email me and I will send you the numbers off my chart.

    As long as you have a good bottom reader and some patience, you can usually find the wreck with the chart numbers as a starting point.
