Doubles and deco friendly boats in NC?

I agree with dwright about Atlantis IV, big boat with lots of room and you dive like YOU want. http://www.atlantischarters.net/

Another good charter out of Morehead is Sea Tales. They also allow you to dive YOUR plan. http://www.seatales.com/

Out of Hatteras the Akyla caters to tech and goes to less visited sites. Great op!! http://www.divehatteras.com/

All of these guys let you do your own thing and would make a good fit for your style. A word of warning is since there are few boats that cater to tech they book up WAY in advance on the weekends. If you want to go next year, call and book the charter now!!
I dont know anyone doing mix on the coast but most shops will top you off with nitrox. Olympus used to do mix if you called in advance for them to get the required gas, but they charged a arm and both legs for it!!

I would say stay way from any of the "big boat" operators mentioned in the above posts or in the area of Morehead if you want to do more than a 10 minute stop. I can say I have been "spoke too" a few times for doing 10 - 15 minutes even tho these operators "agreed" to my planned "extended safety stop" before the dive. Other times they were just fine with it. I have found them all to be good operators overall.

Just my 2 cents

Diver Down provides any mix you want.....As long as its 30%

I figured it was a long shot getting trimix up here, looks like I will be getting a few K bottles for the garage.

Mike,
Thanks for the info, I sent your post to my email so I can have the links. I will check out thier web site after lunch. Like I mentioned earlier I will probably put a few K bottles in the garage. If anyone else wants to put in for some HE I am up for splitting up the gas. I would pay about the same when I go to NFL so probably the only place I would use it is for diving here.
