Yeah - it's a great adventure.

Went twice last year, going back this year! I'd certainly call it adventure diving, in that there's 6am board, 2+ hour boat ride, and deep diving, but you can't dive into history like this anywhere else this easy. These are real wrecks, not placmements.

Clarification:

Numerous U-Boat victims who fought valiantly for our freedoms!

She's talking about the wrecks; I never saw any bodies.

Anyway, it'd be a great trip even without The Wench, but with her running things, it's a hoot! I'll probably book for October and the festival...

Thanks Don...I aim to please! Plus as you know from being on the boat several times now...not all dive operators in the area are the same. Many will allow divers to bounce in 40ft of water knowing full well that once they go offshore it will quiet down, but if they let the divers call the day so they get to stay inshore vs. going offshore, then they not only get back to the dock sooner...they get paid the same amount of money for a fraction of the fuel expendature. In fact everyone's happy...the divers think they got a short day of choppy waves instead of a long one...BUT they think NC diving sucks....the boat operator made the same money for half the work and cost....and just as long as ALL boat operators in the area do that...then the racket works. (And let me tell you its ALWAYS snotty in the channel cuz its shallow but it will be flat, calm in deeper water!)

However we don't do that and people have seen my trips go out so many times I even have a following of people who call me up to say..."and if I book with you you AREN'T going to cancel right...afterall you seem to be the only ones who will try and get out?" Of course my answer is that I make sure we have divers truly qualified to make these dives so YES we are going out if it is at all possible!

[Point of clarification: In 10 years of running informal and formal charters to NC...we have had a total of 3 days cancelled due to weather...3 days not trips. We have had perfect safety record and in all cases but one...our hunch paid off and when we got offshore the waves were significantly calmer then inshore. And that one time...well we just turned around and went home and it was one of the 3 days I mentioned earlier. PLUS the divers were NOT charged for the attempt. On all other boats you WILL be charged for the attempt to go offshore even if you can't dive so most divers won't take the risk. However our boat capt is a DIVER first and a boat capt. second so it makes a huge difference! And while on the subject...even diving with our boat on a non-Wreck Wench trip doesn't guarantee that you'll go out....a dive trip is only as good as the weakest divers. If the boat is full of weak divers then you aren't going out its that simple. Since I've been doing this for so many years..I have a loyal following of good divers who go on my trips so if you dive with me...you usually always get to dive!]


Besides as Don says....our trips are a hoot!! We fly the flags of any State or Country that wants to bring one...we have "meet and greet" parties so that you WILL know EVERYONE in 24hrs or less...we are the only turnkey full dive package in the area as this is a 'drive to' destination where you are on your own to make all your reservations separately and you usually have to do several trips to learn the ropes so you don't make a lot of costly mistakes figuring it all out.

But enough said...you'll really LOVE your NC experience when you dive with us and if you check out the trip information section of the main website you'll find descriptions of the wrecks...diving conditions....weather....etc!!! (See there are other great parts of this site besides the Surface Interval!!!)

Thanks -The Wench

p.s. This is how I got my nickname for those of you who are curious...diving NC and my beloved wrecks which I've become so addicted too! :welcome:

I'm really looking forward to this trip! I've been wanting to dive the graveyard of the Atlantic for years, but never seemed to find the time to do it. Shipwrecks, submarine wrecks, Sand Tigers, great company from Single Divers - how could it get any better? I'm ready!
