diving on trip from Keys to NY

[travelinman2]

Hi all, after diving a bit in the Keys and Fort Lauderdale area, I'm dropping my wife off at the airport to fly back to NY, then driving solo back there over a few days. I'm a bit overwhelmed with dive spot locations and want a few recommendations if possible. First I'll hop over to West Palm Beach area for a day, then I'm thinking SC or NC. I'm AOW, no nitrox, need dive boat/charter to pair me with buddy or guide. Any wrecks/sites that I should definitely not miss? Thanks! travelinman2

Aquatic Safaris out of Wrightsville Beach (Wilmington, NC) runs a lot of charters. You can hire a DM guide/buddy for about $35. They will also pair you up on the boat. They have a mix of offshore ledges and wrecks that they go to.

They tend to be a bit conservative on diving rough weather which I like and will try and call dives by 6 the night before if possible.

I dove Sue's ledge, Hyde, and Frying PAN tower with them last week. Trip reports over at
