SPEARIT is correct in his description of what things are like with regard to NC wreck diving...or megladon hunting trips. He is also correct about run times. You are expected to stay within the dive time limits the captain sets. It, conditions permitting, gives everyone a two tank dive. It is also Atlantic "Ocean" diving and you are expected to have the experience necessary to do these types of dives which can be very challenging at times, especially when there is a substantial current and if there is a big swell which makes getting back on the boat very challenging. With the wrecks you may also have a significant surge if you are diving around the wrecks which can bang you up pretty badly if you are not careful. Visibility is and issue too. The sand is very light and suspends very easily, and can get you lost. On a wreck a compass will quite possibly be useless, so reference point navigation is a must....But....As Spart stated, there are days when you can stick your face in the water at the surface and see the wreck...or divers...100 feet down on the offshore dives.
As far as the sharks teeth excursions, I tried to get out in May but the conditions were bad...as has been alot of days this Summer...Which has hit boat captains pretty hard. As Spart also stated...It is what puts food on the table for them. They do the absolute best they can to get you out on a dive and should be commended for their efforts and not chastized.
