Dive Charters/Outfitters around Hilton Head Island, SC

[NickHoma]

I will be traveling to Hilton Head Island, SC in a few weeks to visit family. I'd like to try going diving while I'm there, but I don't know where to be looking. I realize that diving around Hilton Head Island itself is not great due to visibility and lack of actual things to see, so I am not opposed to driving as far south as Savannah or as far north as Charleston (I can use it as an opportunity to visit those cities for the day as well). I'm interested in offshore diving, especially if there are wrecks in the area, but I need to find somewhere that runs charters. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Here's some places to try but I believe the Savannah shops dive in North Florida on weekend trips. I know nothing about any of these except I've looked into diving around Hilton Head a couple of times in the past - the last time we went to Myrtle Beach instead since it seemed like a better option.

These guys are in Beaufort - I know nothing about them but have driven to Beafort from Hilton Head a couple of times - it's maybe an hour?

In Charleston there's Charleston Scuba on the south side or Low Country on the north side. Charleston does wrecks, I get the impression LC is more spearos. But IDK - only been to Charleston Scuba once and we had to cancel the charter due to weather.

Longshot - check with Integrity - he used to run dive charters from Harbour Town harbor occasionally. I believe he's a PADI DM also.

NickHoma who did you end up going with? Found out I'll be in Savannah GA June of 2016 and want to get some diving in.

I ended up not going while I was there. Any operation that I looked was not running charters in the area while I was there. What I came across for Savannah was mostly farther trips (into Florida) that could even be multi-day trips. If you're interested in that, you can look at Fantasia Scuba - Savannah's #1 Divestore
Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Thanks! Research I've done so far isn't looking good either :-(
