Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Radio Island Jetty, Morehead
Located on an island between Morehead City and Beaufort, parking is available at a county water access park. A hike up the beach you enter next to a fence that terminates in the water. Catch this site just before slack tide in order to ride along the rock lined channel. Lots of fish life, soft and hard corals, crabs and urchins. Maximum depth approximately 40 fsw. Top of the rocks averages around 15 fsw.

Radio island is a NC shore dive. Expect 3 to 6 ft visibility. Only dive-able at high-slack tide. Tropical fish are seen during the late summer months into October. Beware of boat traffic if you venture off the jetty. Beware of stinging corals & occasional jelly fish. Gloves are a must and wetsuits are recommended to deal with sea urchins and sharp rocks and stings. It really is a great quickie dive for those of us in NC. See new stuff almost every time.
