I am once again organizing a four-day North Carolina Wreck, Shark & CCR getaway with Olympus Dive Center - Olympus Dive Center in Morehead City, North Carolina. I am particularly calling out to all KISS CCR divers
Contact me at walt.kissccr@gmail.com
Details:
This will be a Rebreather Only Charter on the dates of July 9, 10, 11 & 12, 2012.
Depths (to the bottom) will be between 90 and 130 feet. Dive profiles will comprise of up 90min runtimes for all CCR dives with a 90min Surface Interval in between.
During which time we will be targeting such wrecks as the Carib Sea, Papoose, Shurz, U-352 and just about anywhere where sandtiger sharks abound. Exact site destinations will be based on weather conditions and group preference. If conditions are good for it, and the group is open to an additional fee to cover additional fuel costs, additional wrecks we will look at include the Naeco (depth 140 feet) and the Proteus (really good for big sandtigers).
I am particularly calling out to all KISS CCR divers as this will be a great trip for those who want to be in the company of fellow KISS CCR divers, as well as a great time to get some pretty cool pictures. So you should bring your camera, I will be bringing mine, as well as being of service regarding photo tips and how-tos.
We will be chartering the Midnight Express, so space is limited to 12 CCR divers.
Daily trip fee is $155 per diver.
