    Diving off Wilmington - best/better time to go?

    We've been to several of the sites but we really liked Frying Pan Tower. Long ride to get there but lots of sea life. Might want t look at You Tube. Used to be lots of Sand Tigers on the Hyde & Markham but don't know where they have gone to. Have fun.

    Key West Vacation - Great Diving

    Last trip of the year and Key West was really good. Weather was good (sunny and hot, low 90's) we did a shallow reef dive. I liked Lost Reef Adventures and crew did an excellent job. Water was almost flat, best I have seen there and could see bottom at 27 ft. They had divers and some snorkling...

    Lake Phoenix Dive

    Depending on the day of the week, you might have a shelter to get under. We camped and cooked off our stove. There are fire pits at each shelter and wood stacked not far away. Next morning we had 8 cars come in and a dive group doing classes. If you go, the water could be cool, so take gear as...

    Dive group in UP State SC?

    Vis is not always the best. American and Lake Norman quarry can be 10 ft or less. We always enjoyed going to Rawlings and camping. Always have pretty good vis and the night dive is very good.

    North Carolina wrecks

    If you want to come as far as Wilmington, then Aquatic Safaris would be a suggestion. Only issue is don't ask for a certain mix of Nitrox. They just fill the tanks and you check the O2 Analyzer. I asked for 32% and offered me something less. Just ask for a different tank and see if they can get...
