Hi everyone,
I'm new to the forum, but this is exactly what I've been looking for.
I am planning a dive trip to the outer banks of North Carolina, and was wondering if anyone else would be interested in seeing the wrecks of "The Graveyard of the Atlantic" I have been there only once, and loved it. If you are a wreck diving fan, or a U-boat enthusiast, than this would be the trip for you. I don't have details yet, but I would organize the whole thing. My good friend and I are planning this, and want to make it bigger. The more the merrier, but we'll limit it to 8 other divers (if it gets that far) due to the fact that I hate cattle boat dives. I already have a dive operator, and boat in mind, but If anyone knows a good one, let me know.
This trip would be in Late August or early September 2002, (that's when water is the warmest there, 3mil wetsuit is all you need, but 7mil is quite toasty), and would be for 3-4 days for a long weekend, but I'm completely flexible.
The U-85 and U-352 are really cool (each is in about 100ft of water to the sand), I've done both, and want to go back. There are also plenty of Artificial reef wrecks there too.
Requirements:
Money.... Self explanitory, probably around $500 or so for lodging, diving, and eating. (not including air, since everyone lives in a different corner of the world here). Final cost will be determined when I have a list of people who want to go
Don't be a newbie, unless you're really confident in your dive skills. The wrecks are deep and the dive operators usually only take AOW certified people, or if your log book looks like an Encyclopedia.
Good sense of Humor.... Sorry no nasty people.
Age not important, but I'm 25, so if that bothers you this is not for you. I'm cool with everyone, especially other divers.
A passion for wrecks, cause if you've seen one reef, you've basically seen em all (basically).
Let me know if this sounds like something you would be interested in. My email is public, but you can PM me, I will also be checking this thread every day to see if anyone wants to go. Again let me say that nothing is cast in stone yet, so we are really flexible on this....
Take care, and dive safe....
