Hello All, It's been awhile since I've been on the board, but wanted to check in and say hello. Labor Day weekend, I had the most awesome wreck diving adventure thus far. Six of us from the Philadelphia Sea Horses met down in Morehead City NC for a weekend of wreck diving. We dove on 5 wrecks, the most exciting for me was the German U-boat U352. Visibility for all wrecks was between 35-45 feet and the temp between 78-81 as deep as 127'. Here I saw my first shark up close and personal. It swam between myself and a photographer at 4ft, honest. After removing my wetsuit from within my body, I saw 2 more and learned that they were sand-tiger sharks. The wrecks that we dove were: Suloide (77' deep), U352 (122' deep), Aeolis (122' deep), Papoose (127' deep), and the Indra (72' deep). The Indra was my second favorite dive. I highly highly recommend that if you have the time, visit Morehead City NC for a few wreck dives. We dove off the Olympus (boat) and the crew members were great. In fact, the captain of the boat (George) was the fellow that discovered U352 a number of years ago. The history of each of these wrecks can easily be located online.
Hope all of ya'll have had great diving summers thus far. In February, we're going ice-diving. I can't believe I'm paying to freeze, uhm, bits off...
