Hey gang! ONLY 18 TOTAL can do this trip!!! Diving on History in North Carolina is a once in a lifetime dive 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!

(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 it is a great venue to dive 30% Nitrox blend. 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 to prevent hazards to shipping.)


So to start the ball rolling we'll be shooting off fireworks this 4th of July in Morehead City, North Carolina! To join us...or should I say BE the fireworks celebration we have:

REVISED LIST:

1. Kamala aka the "Wreck Wench" 4 days Fills Nitrox 100's
2. Dale aka Wreck Maniac Raleigh, NC 4 days Fills Nitrox 100's
3. Eileen aka Triggerfish Chicago 4 days Rental Nitrox 100 alum
4. Gary Purdue Dallas, TX 4 days Rental Nitrox 108’s
5. Kent Wenquist VA Beach, VA 4 days
6. Tommy Meeks Hampton, VA 4 days Fills Nitrox 100's
7. Malena aka Sharkey VA Beach, VA 4 days Fills Nitrox 80's
8. Bob aka Bob VA Beach, VA 4 days Fills Nitrox 80's
9. Brad aka BradfordNC Wilmington, NC 4 days Fills 100's
10. Susan aka Sophia Plano, TX 4 days Rental
11. Michael Kurth, Alaska 4 days Fills Air 100's
12. Francis, Raleigh ????? Rental 80’s
13-18 Private party from VA&NC

Who's next?????

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!

Note: This is FLY-IN pricing ONLY…please contact me for "Drive In" pricing

*Due to a very short diving season May to Oct; variable weather; and very few dive operators; the diving alone in NC is over $100+ per day making it the most expensive per day diving destination...but as you'll see...WELL worth the price to dive on "History" I assure you!

Note: If any trip is NOT Paid in Full 60 Days Prior to Departure the trip cost will automatically include a $75 rate per diver increase unless special arrangements have been made with Red, Wet & Blue or SingleDivers.com. PLEASE ask us if you are able and ready to make these phenomenal dives comfortably and safely!

I'll be joining that "borrowed" club myself if I keep it going the way that I am.
:teeth:

And yes, Walter, it is nice to be able to borrow. I never had to worry about it until I started diving. :dance:
