Trip report? Is there a test too?

I won't speak for everyone but I definitely enjoyed the trip. Hopefully I can get around to my photos this weekend.

WE DID!!! We had great weather and really good conditions. The seas were calm and "most" of the water was warm. Sadly the bottom quarter of the water was chilly but 80 never felt so warm when you came up out of the thermocline.

We saw LOTS OF SHARKS and even a few artifacts were found. We also killed a ton of lionfish and several grouper and flounder that made their way to the cookout! YUM! YUM!!!

We saw LOADS of marine life and as soon as I get packed today I'll post a few pics tonight. You should have been there girl...it was a great one! Kamala

I wish I could have gone on this trip. Love NC DIVING!!!!

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.

Are you planning for the same time period? I wish I had gotten to join this trip.

I will plan for it! Next year will definitely be more settled for us and as long as My husband's schedule has him in town, it shouldn't be an issue. This summer was still a bit hectic and things just didn't work out. By the time his dates worked the trip was sold out. I definitely want to get to N.C. while we are only a 7 hour drive away.
