Spend a full week diving the worlds best wrecks with the best big animal encounters...

"The Graveyard of the Atlantic"

This will be our 12th annual trip to NC and 9 of the 12 spots sold out in the first two weeks... only 3 spots remain as I type this...

The trip price includes hotel accomodations (dbl. occupancy room,) continental breakfast at the hotel each morning and 5 days of two tank diving (10 total dives.)

Some of the wrecks we plan to visit are: the Proteus, the CaribSea, the Spar, the Aeolus, the Shurz, the Papoose/Hutton, the Indra, possibly the Naeco and a couple of others.

Having traveled the world, I always go back to NC and can promise you the best open ocean diving you will ever do...

Sharks - and lots of them. Over the years there have always been the Sand Tigers and other encounters have included Bull Sharks, Whale Sharks, Great Whites and Sandbars. In addition, you will swim with schooling fish so thick you may lose sight of your buddy for a few seconds. Large schools of Atlantic Spadefish, Grouper, Barracuda, Triggerfish, Sheepshead, large southern and roughtail stingrays.. and of course the tropicals such as Angelfish, Lionfish, Spanish Hogfish and more. We occassionally see large common octopus.

This is a dream trip for any avid underwater photographer or videographer.

Depths: 55 - 130ft (most wrecks will be 80 - 110)
Water Temp: 70 - 76 (typical bottom temps in August - 3-5mm suit/no hood is fine)
Visibility: 40 - 100+ (typical range most days is 60 - 80ft)
Boat Ride: 1.5 - 2.5 hours out and back

If you have any questions or would like to join our group of experienced divers, please send me a private message and I'll fill you in on the details. If you send me your phone number I will call you personally with more information.

Its Time to reward yourself with the best diving on earth!
