The Shipwreck of the E.M. Clark located off the coast of North Carolina at a depth of 420 feet is one of the only almost completely intact shipwrecks and most difficult to dive, according to Diver Robert M. Swarm.

“This shipwreck was so deep and extremely hard to get to but because most people couldn’t handle this type of dive the ship was still almost whole making it the most interesting wreck I’ve done,” said Robert Swarm, 41 of Glen Burnie.

The E.M. Clark was a twin screw tanker that ran for Imperial oil and was torpedoed in 1921. Because of the location of the wreck it could only be dove when the current was not strong.

“Many could not do the dive, and there for the ship was still almost whole. I was only down for 9 minutes. It was one of the most interesting dives I have done,” Said Swarm.

Swarm made this dive in October of 1999, since then he has not found a dive like the E.M.Clark. Swarm has done over 300 dives all around the world, including The Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
