I've only dove out of the Morehead City area, but Wilmington seems to be picking up a lot of steam as an "overlooked" location. I plan on diving in Wilmington in the next few years before it becomes saturated. With that said If you're looking for "popular" "well known" wrecks to dive, go out of Morehead. I'm sure the poeple that dive out of Wilimington will and probably should contest this thought. I've dove with some of the charters in the Morehead city area, and I would recommend diving with Olympus on the Olympus. I think everyone should meet George at least once, he is a wealth of information, and my wife/buddy won't let me dive with anyone else. If I had only only a couple of days, I'd shoot for the Papoose, and hope you got anchored into the break in the wreck, and head to the stern. You can't lose with the Schurz either. Anything beyond that is icing on the cake as far as a "regular" day goes. If you call Olympus ask for Lauren she's always up for a good brain picking. To save money I always stay in the bunkhouse.
