What is the COVID situation like there? I just cancelled my FL trip the week of July 26, and would like to go somewhere less risky.
 
IMO, not as bad as FL but there are the usual risks. NC also has a mandatory mask wear order in place.

Thank you. I believe that I will postpone my vacation for a bit.
 
Another question, is a reel required/recommended on the deep wrecks?
 
I have been out with DD before and it was a great time. Since I am now getting back into diving again after a long break, I may not be able to make any ocean dives until mid August. How late in the season do you all run? Are they still going out in September and October?

Ed, most of the wrecks there are pretty old. Many have been broken into pieces by time. hurricanes, etc. Penetration would be pretty dicey for many of them. Maybe someone can correct me, but my understanding was that no penetration was recommneded.

We had three awesome days with Discovery this week. We were able to dive the Aeolus three times and would do it three more, the U352, the Caribsea and the Pappoose. Weather, seas, and marine life were about as perfect as one could want and @rlskill1 and crew were a pleasure.

Both boats will run thru October if there are groups willing to go. From November on, mostly The 6pack goes.
