Yup. We were down there in our motorhome but chose to leave yesterday and are hanging out in Raleigh. I have a dive scheduled for a week from Friday. Hopefully things get back up and running by then.

We do to the weekend of 19/20. I went from real excited............. to watching the hurricane rip right across the dive sites we like to frequent.......... and now feeling very sad about the trip.
Hurricanes are awesome....they change the wrecks so that it becomes a whole new exploration experience.

I recently dove the Mahi wreck in Hawaii, which was originally upright. Not long ago, a Typhoon rotated the entire thing, it broke in half, the bridge collapsed, and the bow section came to rest at a 45 degree angle from the horizontal, while the stern remained upright. It will be interesting to see if any of the NC wrecks are dramatically affected. On the other hand... this aint their first hurricane.

Irene spun and moved the Spar 200+ ft. That takes a hellova lot of force to move that big a ship. Gotta respect mother nature!!
Any condition reports from the weekend???

Olympus divers is back open with no damage. Got dives booked the 11/12th
Randy, you will be fine in 2 weeks unless another storm brews up. The viz went from 20'-40' between dives on the Papoose yesterday. We were on the Spar and my divers reported an improvement between dives. It will be back to normal by this weekend.

Sounds good Capt. Can't wait to dive NC again.
Everything is back to normal. We had some wicked currents from that super moon a few days ago and it blew that storm stirred nasty water out of here and the beautiful blue back in. 80' of top to bottom blue on the Shurz yesterday.
