Ocracoke

[Nevis Diver]

I am going to be in Beaufort August 14 & 15 to dive the QAR. However, Sunday the 9th through Wednesday the 12th I will be on Ocracoke with limited access to the ferry to Hatteras. Does anyone know of ANY diving opportunities on Ocracoke? I don't necesarily need to go out to wreck, although that would be awesome, just need to get wet before the QAR later that week. The bathtub at the B&B just isn't big enough !

Chris, currently there are no dive boats operating from Ocracoke on a regular basis. There have been some fish boats that I have seen carring divers occasionally so you might ask your BB operator if they know who they are. You could probably jump in the water somewhere around silver lake and see something, but there are no easy access beach dives that I know about on Ocracoke. You can go out of Hatteras village if you get the early ferry across as many divers do that with us during the season. You can get dropped off at the south side and ride over without a car as the Hatteras dive boats are walking distance from the north ferry docks. Sorry, but I don't have anything that fits your needs those days.

You could always hook up with these guys who have Tortuga for Monday-Wednesday before they dive the QAR program.
