Dive trip anyone?

[washowi]

Sneaking back in for a moment.

Anyway. Planning on trying to do a dive trip to the North Carolina wrecks. Thinking about the doing the U352, the Papoose, maybe the Queen Anne's Revenge if I can swing that.

Looking for at least 6 to fill a boat. Its off season I can't get a boat to take me out alone.

Interest? email me. No dates set yet but I want to go soon, before winter set in on the coast. Water is great right now.

Wish I could, but too hard to get off work. Sounds like fun.

This is the best month to go too! October is prime for the graveyard of the Atlantic. I wish I could go, but just booked a trip down to St. Thomas with my wife for our anniversary and am tight on cash. Maybe next time. I love diving the u352 and the papoose. I have never dove the QAR as I didn't feel like paying the outrageous fees for the tour. They even give you underwater MP3 players I hear for that dive.

LOL, come on Mojo, you aren't a WWW (Warm Water Whuss) are you?

LOL, I always respected the WWW's, they aren't crazy like us cold water wetsuit divers..

If the water temp is below 78 degrees, I don't even put on my bathing suit!

I prefer

I am doing work there and meeting people with boats..So maybe it will be a rouge boat not associated with a store....just gathering interest. QAR will be next spring for sure.

It will be a weekend.. but I was there yesterday and the water is perfect

Thanks very much! I enjoy it, but can't seem to find enough time to take those big trips...

Awesome pics Chris, I am jealous of both your dives, and your photography equipment.

Here is also another great shop up there. Discovery and Olympus are both first class as well.

Randomly my sister asked me today about taking the test and we decided to go Nov 17-18 to do the test at a florida spring (blue groto or rainbow river). So when is this trip gonna take place? And is this to advanced of a dive for a rookie? I get the feeling it is...

These are 100+ foot dives, I would not recommend new or beginners. But there is no dive police.

Currents and depth, you need to be comfortable with that,

Todd, When are you thinking and how much $$$$ you thinking. I am on a VERY tight budget right now but I would love a weekend trip.

The dive is $115 for a 2 tank.....So figure times 2 for 4 dives..Thats a long way to go for just 2 hours under water.


You can drive to Morehead, but Its a pain and not fun....Closest airport is Jacksonville, NC or you can do Raleigh and drive 2 hrs.

The QAR is a $500 dive but we cant do it till next June....Its a closed site for research.

Si I figure if ya have Delta miles (like me) car, hotel (shared) $600 should cover it....? Rough guess...


Would like to do it sometime in November.
