North Carolina: The Graveyard of the Atlantic

North Carolina is not for the faint of heart—it is the ultimate playground for big metal and big teeth. Known famously as the "Graveyard of the Atlantic," this coastline is littered with tragic history, from German U-boats to massive freighters. But these wrecks aren't just artifacts; they are shark magnets. This is hands-down the best place in the world to dive with Sand Tiger Sharks (Raggies) in huge numbers. It is a high-octane mix of maritime history and intense marine biology that you just can't find anywhere else.

Why We Chose This Sticker Design

We couldn't make this sticker without featuring the wreck’s most famous residents. We put the Sand Tiger Shark front and center, capturing that iconic, snaggle-toothed grin that looks terrifying but belongs to a surprisingly docile animal. We set the scene with the ghostly silhouette of a ship's tower in the background, surrounded by schooling baitfish, to capture the exact vibe of descending onto a "living wreck". The deep, rich blues represent the deep Atlantic water, making this a badge of honor for anyone who has braved the offshore currents.
