We're taking a group from Alabama to Cape Lookout NC to dive the graveyard of the Atlantic. We'll be diving with Discovery Diving in Beaufort NC for 5 days June 24 -28 and will be diving the U-352 and other magnificent and historical wrecks. Charter fees and dive lodge costs for all 5 days...

Jim's right in that this is a recreational charter. But if we can put enough divers onboard to control the boat, which until the recent spell of medical issues wasn't going to be a problem, it's a really advanced recreational charter. From scubaboard we've got myself, Jim, Rocketman, and...

Well it's time to resurrect this thread. We've put together a U-boat and wreck diving expedition to Cape Lookout NC for June 24 - 28th. We'll be diving with Discovery Diving and staying in their dive lodge. Discovery Diving Co., Inc. - North Carolina Wreck Diving in the Graveyard of the Atlantic...

I am not really sure but stop in at the Florida Pahhandlers which is part of deep dixie divers with your question. i know there are some folks there that can answer this question.

Just read over my post below and it came across harsher than I intended. So why would someone want to dive NC? It's simple really, it has world class wreck dives. If you go out to the wrecks in the Gulf Stream you are diving world class tropical wrecks. Water temps in the 70's and 80's and...

NC diving is fantastic. Particularly in the Cape Lookout and Wilmington areas. There you can get the offshore Gulf Stream waters, warm water with great visibility. NC truly has world class wrecks and fantastic and abundant marine life. It's wonderful diving and everyone who goes acknowledges...

It's OK and all in good fun. I thought you were talking about the SEAS club group out of Huntsville. about 70% of that crowd are Rocket scientists and engineers. If you ever come to any of our meetings or dive events you definitely get an engineer overload. Well since you aren't cutting me...

Darn Ken you cut me, you cut me deep man!!!;) That's what you get when you dive with the Huntsville crowd. You can't swing a cat without hitting a dozen engineers. That's it, you are now off the U-boat divers list!!! Except for that last part I thought the rest of your advice was pretty good...

Depends on what you mean by somewhat? Most of us aren't familiar with CMAS. From what I understand a CMAS*** is sorta equivalent to PADI Divemaster or NAUI Divemaster or Master Diver. You also say you have advanced Nitrox, does that include any decompression diving or training? If you want to do...

Bonjour Marie, The Deep Dixie Divers forum on Scubaboard is the home of the Oriskany. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/deep-dixie-divers/ A lot of the Dive Charters participate in that forum and can answer many of your questions. So drop by for a visit and let us know how many divers you...

I really like the tone of this thread and the advice offered so far. I don't have a lot to add and I really liked Clayjar's response. As someone who's been soloing longer than most PADI specialties have existed, I believe solo diving is more of a journey or experience than a destination. Drop in...

Agree with Mike, visibility can be hit or miss. You're not going to get cozumel conditions in the panhandle. Visibility should be between 25' and 50' most of the time but if they get some storms from the south it can stir the water up and drop visibility significantly. The further out you go the...

The reason you've got positive feedback on those three are that they're all great to go diving with. Conch Republic is close and easy to find from Ocean Pointe. i don't remember Conch's boats being crowded when I dove with them. AL

Hey Rupp, Right forum. I don't know a whole lot about diver certification in the Keys. Especially when it comes to teenagers. I do know of several good dive operations down there that I would use for diving. That being said I dove once with Conch Republic Divers on my last trip to the Keys...

Lots of threads address this. http://www.scubaboard.com/forums/florida-conch-divers/269111-looking-info-diving-fla-keys.html

Give us a shout when you're down. Several of us would probably join you in a dive. Big Bob's main resturaunt is less than a mile from Mike and my houses. Maybe we could join you for dinner one night. AL

You will probably be OK diving 3mm with hooded vest. Especially if you dive your home waters in a wetsuit. I typically dive the springs of N FL 67F with a 3mm and hooded vest and am comfortable. AL

Beginner divers - Vortex and/or Morrison, San Pablo, Pete Tide II, Navy Tug, Atlantis, Rome. You guys - Oriskany, Cypress Springs, Avocet, YTD 14 & 15, Oil Rigs, Massachuesetts, Antares Dive Sites listed in Gary Gulf Divers website: http://www.gulfdiver.net/dive_sites.htm Other Dive...

Lots of good dives down that way. The Oriskany, Avocet, Pete Tide II, San Pablo (Russian Freighter), YTD 14 & 15, Massachuesetts, Navy Tug, and several bridge sites. AL

Hey guys love the report and pictures. You're really making me want to go back to spring and cavern diving in Florida. I think the last time I dove Cypress was in 87 or 88. Definitely have to get back there. Definitely!! AL
