There's not much difference in visibility and water temperatures. I did enjoy the dives more off NC, but that was primarily because of all the Sand Tigers. I wasn't quite as happy about the Bulls, but they were behaving as well.
Oh what a glorious time we 3 had that day.
And yes a newly printed AOW card will NOT prepare you for off the deep NC coast.
While it is definitely world class diving, it can also humble the hardiest of divers.
But you never know it could be lake flat with 80-100 ft of vis.
