I did it!!! Morehead City was a freakn awesome trip! Big thank you to Indian Valley Scuba for hosting, driving, and more importantly helping this newbie. Csaba also did my Nitrox cert on this trip and he and Dave made sure I was well looked after.
We dove the sub (U352) with 2-3 foot waves, excellent vis and little current. I hit 104 feet (refused to stick my hand in the sand just to go deeper which Csaba ribbed me about later! LOL)
Next dove the Indra. Seas were a little rougher and vis not as good but it was still a great dive. Alledgedly there were 2 sharks just off the boat but I didn't see them (Thankfully) and had a blast.
We got blown out the 2nd day but am definitely going back!
For those who need the gritty details, we dove with Olympus on the Midnight Express. Great outfit, will dive with them again.
Thank you to everyone for their advice!
