Depth: 36 and 32 fsw
Bottom time: 15 and 20 minutes
Surface interval: 38 minutes
Visibility: <5'
Temperature: 81°F at surface, 70-74 at depth.
Dove on the Miss Mackenzie out of Lynnhaven Dive Center.
Got on the boat at 0700, arrived less than half an hour later. After setting anchor, our divemaster set a Carolina rig over to the island itself. Since visibility was already non-existent, my buddy and I descend along the line. We eventually pulled ourselves to the bottom, finding a few blue crabs, hermit crabs, and almost nothing else. The bottom was impossible to see and we only found it by physically hitting it. After about 15 or so minutes each time, we decided that there wasn't much fun in sitting around on the silty bottom holding a rope, so we decided to surface. Returned to the Marina about 1030.
Although the boat crew and ride were both extremely pleasant, I wouldn't recommend this site unless you want to practice in Low-vis conditions.
