Diveral:
It's time to dive. We are bringing groups from Alabama and Minesota diving with Discovery Diving off of Cape Lookout from 7/10-7/14. We are really looking forward to the trip. We have 12 divers lined up so far. Where are some good places to eat? What types of things is there to do if we get blown out for a dive or two?
What is the can't miss dive? We definitely want to diive the U-352, Carib Sea, and Papoose.

There are great places to eat within walking distance of Discovery. Front street is full of nice restaurants ranging from semi-pricey to real pricey. Fins is a nice place for lunch or an early dinner on the semi-pricey side. Spouter Inn or Ribeyes make for a decent higher end meal. Avoid the Dockhouse for food (but a good place to go trolling at night for the younger crowd
. Clawsons is good and the Beaufort Grocery is excellent. I can't speak for the other side of the drawbridge but I hear Morehead has some decent places also. (I'm a biased Beaufort resident
)
As for options if you get blown out... again, lots to do in Beaufort:
--If the tide is right, do a shore dive on Radio Island
--Maritime Museum -- free and very interesting
--Maritime Museum Boat House (build your own wooden boat)
--Core Sound Museum on Harkers Island -- free and interesting as well
--Ferry ride to Shackleford banks or Cape Lookout/Core Banks -- spend the day at the "real" beach and see some wild horses or the lighthouse
--Water front tours on one of the sightseeing boats (or a smaller boat with just your group ie. Flat Out Tours from DDC and do some fishing)-- see Taylors Creek, Carrot Island (wild horses again) the MHC waterfront and probally some dolphins.
--Go to the beach on Atlantic Beach
There's much more to do but lets just hope this is a moot discussion, right
Good Luck and let me know if I can answer any more questions... Check your PM DiverAl
