we dove with DISCOVERY DIVERS in BEAUFORT N.C. over all had a great time. We got there friday night, and checked inn. we stayed in there bunkhouse (west) not the east, which we were told by other diver had no common room, which west has. It had three rest rooms and a full kitchen and was perfect for the 16 of us too have some fun after diving each day. the boat was a little crowed with 20 divers but not to bad since we all have been diving together before. the captin (jerry) and mate (justin) were good no problems, other then they were very quick to cancell a dive.We did the ATLAS on sat. in the am. this was a big wreck, 77degrees at bottom with 55ft vis. tons of bait fish and some big albacore , spayed fish as well as barracuda.
the second dive was the CARIBSEA this was the best dive of the weekend!! lots of sand tigers, 30 or more swimming in and out. one shark was huge!! i was told 12 ft, it was much larger then the rest. we also found lots of teeth. 78 degrees and 45ft vis.
waves were small and sun shinning we tried to do a third dive but no go. they were all booked up, and no night dives to risky.
sunday we tried to do the sub (352) but no go captian said waves could get to big. there for we did the hutton and soloide both okay nothing great about them 70ft deep
not much of a ship left but i was under water so it was good. we did see a couple of small sand tigers on the hutton and a turtle as well as tons of bait fish.
no afternoon dive because the waves could get larger very quick.
monday no dives wind was up! side note, i am not a boat captian and have never been a captian, so the captian might have been right on with his predicition of the weather, but it was my dives being cancelled so i was disapointed not angry!
all in all a great time and will be heading back next year!!
