Hey all,
We mainly offer 2 tank dives for most of our dive sites. If a group comes in and wants to book the boat we would offer 3 tanks for just a little bit more.
We do have a compressor on site in the shop now. We now offer onsite filling for nitrox and air.
I will be sure and post a full listing of our dive sites with descriptions.
My apologies on the late response everyone. Look forward to hopefully diving with everyone this summer.

Blackbeard's Dive Sites & Descriptions:
20 miles & in - $159
-Raritan: a 251 ft. freighter, the Raritan sank in 1942 in 80 ft. of water. There are two sections with the bow being separated from the rest of the wreck. The Raritan makes a good deeper step for the new diver.
-Mt. Durfys: a 400 ft Greek freighter, sunk in 1936, she lies in 30 ft. of water, with a depth of 45 ft. at the stern. The Durfys is a good novice wreck with shelling for the novice and experienced diver.
-Brick Wreck: A twin masted sailing ship, suck around the turn of the century with a cargo of asphalt bricks. Approximately 130 ft. in length, the wreck lies in 30 ft. of water, making it a good dive for the novice diver.
-George Weems: Originally launched as the 140 ft. wooden Coast and Geodetic Survey ship George S. Blake, the Weems ended her career off the Frying Pa Shoals in 1908 when she burned and sank in 40 ft. of water.
-Sherman: Originally the 200 ft. blockade runner, Princess Royal, the Sherman sank in 50 ft. of water in January of 1874 while on a voyage from New York to New Orleans. While visibility is not the best (usually only 15-20 ft.), many different types of artifacts can be found, including port holes, glass insulators, hardware, leather shoes, US military belt buckles and Winchester model 1866 rifles.
40 miles & in - $169
-Rosin Wreck: This 380 ft. freighter sank some time in WWII in 110 ft. of water. The wreck is lying with a 45 deg. port list, the top of the wreck being in 84 ft. of water.
-YDS-68: A 110 ft. navy seaplane-retrieval ship, which sank in 1952. She is lying upside down in 100 ft. of water.
-Civil War Wreck: This wreck appears to have been carrying war supplies after the Civil War. Possibly the Swaunee which sank in 1868, the wreck lies in 80 ft. of water. Many items can be found included brass handles sabors, cannon balls, shot, bullets and more.
-City of Houston: A 290 ft. long single engine steam ship carrying passengers and freight on a regular run between New York and Galveston. She sank on October 23, 1878 in 90 ft. of water 34 miles off Southport. The wreck holds a number of different types of artifacts from the 19th century life style. With visibility ranging from 60-100 ft., this is a good dive for the intermediate diver.
-Frying Pan Reef: Rock reef at the end of frying pan shoals, with depth ranges from 40-70 ft. Large variety of sea life can be observed, including fish, coral, and lobster.
-Shark's Tooth Ledge: A reef ranging from 70-110 ft. where Megalodon shark teeth and whale bone fossils can be found.
over 40 miles - $179
-Ore Freighter/18 Fathom Wreck: This 400 ft. freighter sank some time in WWII in 120 ft. of water, making it a dive for a more experienced diver. Possibly the Ringborg, sunk in 1923, but the name remains a mystery.
-Hebe: A 250 ft. Dutch freighter, the Hebe collided with the St. Cathan on April 11, 1942 and sank in 112 ft. of water. The bow of the wreck was remarkably intact with the remains of a 1940 Chevrolet automobile in the forward cargo hold until hurricane Hugo caused parts of the wreck to collapse.
-St. Cathan: This 210 ft. British anti-submarine trawler sank within 5 minutes after colliding with the Hebe on April 11, 1942. The St. Cathan is lying on an even keel in 112 ft. of water. Many brass artifacts can be found inside the wreck in the clear water.
-Lobster Dive: There are several sites where we have caught spiny and shovel-nosed lobsters. The sights range in depth from 60-120 ft. of water.
