Divers:
Saterday: Hebe and H.M.S. St. Cathan: (2 dives) Also known as twin wrecks, the Hebe, a Dutch freighter and British sub chaser St. Cathan collided in 1942. They now lie in 90-110 ft of water 42 miles off our coast and 1/4 mile apart. Both ships hold a vast amount of marine life and numerous artifacts. Visibility often approaching and exceeding 100 ft these are two of our most favorite dive sites.
Sunday: BP-25: (2/3 dives) Sunk as part of the South Carolina artificial reef program in 1985, this 180 ft British Petroleum oil tanker has a instresting past. From a working tanker, to drug runner and then artificial reef, the BP-25's mysterious past continues. For after she was sunk her entire bridge was suddenly removed without a trace. However since she has come to rest on the sea floor in 90 ft of water she has become covered in marine life, and is really an oasis in the dessert 34 miles offshore where she lies.
Monday: Governor: (2 dives) An unidentified civil war side wheel steamer, the Governor is a "diggers delight", and yields a bounty of brass artifacts. Civil war belt buckles, rifles, cannon balls, and various other artifacts have been recovered from this wreck on a regular basis. The Governor is 22 miles of our coast and lies in 80 ft of water.
The boat we go off is awesome and HUGE! It is favorite dive boat and the Captain and crew are some of the best!
If you think you might be interested in this -- let me know as soon as possible so I can see what the interest is out there.
Cheers!

p.s. I will book rooms after I get a tentative head count. The price may go up or down depending on the accomadations. But I am estimating anywhere from $25 to a little over $50.00/pp/per night. I will forward payment details later.
