The Rosin Wreck (SS Runa) is a nice dive and is located about 45 miles south of Masonboro Inlet. There is a very nice swim through. To say the marine life on this wreck is abundant would be an understatement. The maximum depth is 120 feet. The visibility is usually phenomenal.

The Rosin Wreck is a large wreck 40 miles south of Masonboro Inlet. It sits in 115 ft of water and rises to about 85 ft. The ship is pretty well defined and the wreckage is collapsing in on itself. There is a giant swim through where the superstructure of the wreck has rusted away leaving only the ribs of the ship. Thousands of baitfish, grouper and even sand tigers are all in the massive swim through.
Recently I’ve been doing a little research into the identity of of the Rosin Wreck. The evidence is pointing to the Norwegian freighter Runa. The Runa was on it’s way from Savahnna GA to Liverpool England when it encountered rough seas off Frying Pan Shoals on Dec 15, 1923. The Freigther W.W. Mills recovered 5 survivors but 22 others were never found.
