August 5-7 diving with Aug 4th and 8th as travel days!
The water is usually the warmest and the clearest...the air temps are hot so expect 80-85 bottom temps...85-90 air temps and 70-150 ft of vis! YES we are talking about North Carolina here...of course we have the advantage of the Gulf Stream coming into shore near Morehead City, NC....don't ya just love a place where you do only deep diving to be called "MoreHead"????? Of course our boat is called the "Diver DOWN" and if you are really good diving these wrecks you can penetrate! And last but not least...if additional support is needed...the boat capt's last name is "Cox"!

Hey gang! ONLY 18 TOTAL can do this trip!!! Diving on History in North Carolina is a once in a lifetime dive (ok twice for some of us!!!) you have to do at LEAST once!!! But I'll warn you...when you find out that there is Caribbean water with HUGE animal encounters and the most incredible wrecks that you can dive on or in...you may just get 'hooked' like some of us near and dear to you...ahem...me!
What You’ll See:
• REAL WWI and WWII shipwrecks…..sunk as early as 1918
• The U-352….the second U-Boat sunk by the US in WWII and the ONLY U-Boat in warm, clear diveable waters!
• Numerous U-Boat victims (not bodies) who fought valiantly for our freedoms!
• Large animals such as Huge Southern Stingrays, Barracudas, Grouper, Amberjack, and yes SHARKS!!!
(Please note that we ask for 40+ dives and adv open water or equilivent in experience as these wrecks are 80-125ft in depth. The water temps are 80-85 degrees and vis is 70-150ft. No wreck certfication is required however the standard nitrox blend is 30%. Most wrecks do NOT have penetration opportunities and you must be specially trained to attempt a wreck penetration. Many of the wrecks have light passthru's where you can swim in and out to the light on the other side. Most of the wrecks are scattered due to frequent storms or if inshore cable layered to prevent hazards to shipping.)
