Conditions Report - Morehead City

[Nema@Olympus]

Hi SB Gang and greetings from Olympus Dive Center!

Although I typically correspond through our newsletter or website, I thought I would hop on SB and give a conditions update....which are FABULOUS!

Water temperature is a warm 73 degrees and climbing so most divers are wearing a 3mm already.

Visibility has been averaging 50 - 70 feet.

The sand tiger sharks are out in full force on popular wrecks like the Spar and Aeolus.

There U-352 is teaming with exciting fish life and the resident southern sting rays are still present and seem to be getting larger.

NOAA is predicting the extended range forcast to be perfect for our long boat rides.

With that we are extremely excited..COME SEE US!!!

It is welcoming news!

Our boats were on the Spar, Aeolus and U-352 today and yesterday on the Atlas. Bottom temperature on all was 73 degrees. Visibility on the Atlas was 80 + feet with TONS of sand tigers. Visibility today on the Spar, Aeolus and U-352 was 50 + feet and all the divers had huge smiles on their faces!

Tomorrow's group is talking about a night dive the Indra or Spar..I'll keep you posted!
