Site details

The Atlantic Mist was a 185-ft, 640-ton WWII Patrol Craft Escort (PCE-880) later converted to a menhaden fishing boat, sunk as reef material on the tri-state DelJerseyLand artificial reef about 26 nautical miles from Indian River Inlet. The reef site bottoms out at 121-131 ft, making this an advanced cold-water wreck dive shared by Delaware, New Jersey and Maryland divers alongside the destroyer USS Arthur W. Radford.
