Purnell's Reef

Maryland · 7–10 m

Purnell's Reef is a 413-acre Maryland artificial reef site 2.4 nautical miles northeast of the Ocean City Inlet, built from prefabricated concrete modules and concrete rubble in roughly 30-35 ft of water. The shallow depth and short run from the inlet make it one of the easiest ocean reef dives off Ocean City, holding sea bass, tautog, spadefish, croaker and triggerfish in season.

Russell's Reef/Great Gull

Maryland · 9–13 m

Russell's Reef, also known as Great Gull Reef, is a Maryland artificial reef of slightly under 1,000 acres located 4.2 nautical miles southeast of the Ocean City Inlet on the Great Gull Bank. Concrete reef material in roughly 30-45 ft of water attracts sea bass, tautog and flounder, and the site's proximity to the inlet makes it a convenient shallow dive and spearfishing area.
