Hi,

I have been trying to dive all 50 states, and I will be visiting South Carolina the first week of August. Although We are visiting for other reasons than Diving we Will be Available August 2 and 3. :confused: I will be in Columbia SC, and really have no Idea on were to dive or anything about your area, so any advice or help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Clay
 
Welcome to Scubaboard.

If you are interested in ocean diving, contact Scuba Express in Murrell's Inlet (about 3 hour drive from Columbia).

In Columbia, contact Wateree Dive Center. Lake Murray is near Columbia, but I'm not sure if there is anything to dive on there.

For black water diving (and treasure hunting), the Cooper River is popular. Check out Underwater Adventures in Sumter SC - they dive the Cooper a few times each summer, and know others.

For lake diving, Clarks Hill (AKA Lake Thurmond) is on the SC/GA border. Contact Neptune Dive and Ski in Augusta GA for information, or hook up with Diveprof here on SB via Private Message.

If you are interested in diving the warm water produced by a nuclear reactor, contact Upstate Scuba - they dive Lake Jocassee frequently and can recommend locals to dive with.

Did this get you started?
 
ya, thank you very much. I will look at those places and try tomake a descision. Have also decided to drive to NC and book a dive with scubasafari?? or somethin like that for a couple wreck dives on the Hyde/Markham Monday August 2 if anyone would like to join us. We are really excited to see your side of the country.
Thanks again

I can't get off work on Mon or Tues typically. I've heard NC wreck diving is great, but subject to weather issues. Good luck and please post how it went!
 
Thanks Lee, checked out your information, looks really cool, i think we are gonna try to run down there and try to log a few on Aug 3. does anyone have a particular location they like better for one reason or another? do you need to charter a boat? and would anyone like to join us?
