Yes there will be a drive in price and fly in price...the latter including the shared rental vans. There is not much price difference but every little bit helps! kamala

Well this would be great trip again on my anniversary if I were in the area. I get all the way over here and you start the NC trip again. It was a great trip last year and if I had not made the move I would love to have been preparing for the trip. For those who havent made it, it is a fantastic location, food was great except for one place that WW got us kicked out of when she danced on the table. OTW was extremely embarrassed so we snuck him out with a jacket over his face so no one would recognize him this year.
Make the trip and take your meds...one great time last year.

Temps are USUALLY in the low 80's or high 70's. Those temps were UNUSUALLY low.
Trust me...I would not Dive NC if that was standard water temps.
I live in Charlotte NC and would be interested in this dive. However, I have read and heard that wreck diving here is challenging especially for a new diver like myself. I plan to attend some deep and stress and rescue classes before the dates of this trip. Can anyone share any experience or challenges this dive would hold for a new diver like myself. Thanks.

Hey Randy, this is pretty advanced diving. Please read post number 76 where Kamala gives a very good description of what you can expect.

Hi NewbieDiverr
The diving off NC is deep, in the 100-120 area. It is 20 miles off shore, so the boat rides are long. On a good day it is some of the best diving anywhere. But... When the conditions are less the ideal you need to be able to say no. I have called dives I wasn't comfortable making.
Current, vis and sea state all factor into whether or not it is an easy dive or an advanced one. There is no easy answer to your question. On an SD trip there will be lots of divers at various levels of training and experience. All of them will be willing to help out. If you have any specific questions please feel free to post them. There are no dumb questions here!!
I love diving here in NC. Last year I did a dive where I sat on the bottom next to an artificial reef ship wreck and counted 14 sand tiger sharks in my field of view. Then we went into the open hold and explored there. the sea life that congregates on these wrecks must be seen to be believed. Then there is the history in some of the wrecks. The first time i dropped onto the U-352 when I was only 20feet deep almost the entire sub came into view and with no current we free fell all the way to the sand. A super day to say the least. To see it lying out in front of you is a sight you will never forget.

Each wreck has a tale to tell about its life and its demise.
If you are observant while diving in dark places listen to the account each has to tell, You cannot come away unaffected.
