Surprisingly good dives VERY inshore morehead city

[yardpro]

So my 12 year old son was finishing his OW this weekend.
Sunday the weather went to crap. They cancelled the Indra dive and ran a group out to the novelty. This is a spot only a mile or three off the beach in 50' water. It has the old swing open center span for the draw bridge. and some road sections from the bridge as well as a trawler.

I have been for flounder before but the viz was always terrible.
My son was dying to finish and get his card, so I said Ok and we went.

The vis was about 20'.... INCREDIBLE for there... the viz at the Indra which was way further offshore than this one was only 5'. I was expecting crap vis, but it was REALLY nice...

It was good enough that my boy wants to go back.

That's one thing about NC diving....you never know what conditions will be like until you get down there.

usually it is the other surprise. I expect decent viz and get there and find 10'

Good on ya Daddy-O. Keep him wet!

I hear ya on the flip flopping weather/sea state. I was expecting overcast, rainy rough water Saturday and it was gorgeous lake Atlantic south of Hatteras. Sunday it turned nasty and we were happy to get one day in.
