just want to say hi from N.C.

[hearsejr]

hi all, I'm hailing from N.C., and just joined and would like to say hi.
I have been a diver since 1988, but I'm by no-means the smartest man to ever get his earse wet, so please feel free to correct me when I'm wrong lol. I love diving and always interested in meeting folks who may want to dive the N.C. area. I try not to desturb the dive sites, but let's just say I'll never be able to join PETA. I have pulled a port hole or three, but only from wrecks that are not intended to be a dive destination. most of the stuff I have is from scraped work boats that were scraped by the owners and left to rot. I love old fishing trawlers and everytime I get a chance I try and check out those that have been left to rot by the owners. maybe one day I'll find a wreck that is fixable and have my own home on the water and dive platform. all in one....hay a guy can dream right, lol.
thanks,
Bill

Welcome to the board! I do a ton of diving in the OBX area of NC. I too like to track down the old trawlers. You would have a field day in Wanchese. There is old junk everywhere there. If you look at my profile, you will see how I sometimes get the inside scoop and positions of recently sunk trawlers and other boats. Good times!

Hello hearsejr,
Welcome to ScubaBoard! :1poke: I came here to look for help with my scuba diving dream and the response has been fantastic. So, I know you will enjoy being a member here.
There are a lot of nice and informative scuba divers. It's a good place to meet other divers and share experiences and dreams. Take care from Matt.

Howdy!

And welcome to SB - the biggest, the best, the fastest growing, and the friendliest!

I'll be diving out of Morehead City Oct 1-3,and we have room if you're interested. We'll be diving deeper wrecks, and this bunch does collect "artifacts," but by the time the Coast Guard cables the wrecks, and the hurricanes churn them up, it's more of a "get the pieces before they disappear."

Completing your Dive Info will help in future diving discussions. You can use the Quick Links menu above for this. PM me if I can help you learn your way around.
