Spearfishing North Carolina | Hyde Wreck

Spearfishing North Carolina | Hyde Wreck
I've been wanting to dive the Hyde wreck here in North Carolina for a while. It is a very large wreck that is well known by scuba divers. I had yet to see a shark while spearfishing off of North Carolina, and I was confident the Hyde wreck would have at least a couple. I was lucky enough to get a great weather window to make the 20 mile run out of Masonboro Inlet on the 4th of July and decided to make the hour trip to the wreck. I arrived and was greeted by 30+ barracuda with quite a few in the 4ft+ size class. I also was able to dive with a couple sand tiger sharks and another that I failed to identify (Let me know in the comments). After trying to shoot a barracuda and getting too much unwanted attention from the sharks and barracudas I decided to call it because I was completely alone (I know I shouldn't dive alone, but no one would go with). On the way in I trolled a couple planers and hooked what I think was a small spinner shark on a clark's spoon. Because it was the 4th, it was getting more and more crowded and hectic so I called the day early rather than risking it.
I hope this video keeps you entertained. I sure had fun that day.

Pretty awesome drop. Headed out to Oak Island area in late August. Keen to do some spearfishing but I will have to stick to stuff accessible from shore.

Good luck!

How deep is that wreck?

[@TheWaterloggedWoodsman]

The wreck sits in 80 ft of water, but the top of the wreck is about 40ft deep.
