Join me for a tec diving excursion to the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Let me utilize my 20 years of experience North Carolina wreck diving to show you what it's all about. This charter is not necessarily about going deep but more about longer dives in reasonable depths with less divers on board with higher skill sets. If conditions warrant we will do a 160' dive but plan on 90-130' dives with extended bottom times. You can achieve double the bottom time in one day compared to two days of diving.

Specifics

We will be chartering Olympus Dive Centers 20 passenger dive boat, the Midnight Express, (the vessel I captained for 5+ seasons). However, the max number of divers on this charter will be only 12.

These dive sites are offshore in the Atlantic Ocean with 90-120 minute one way transit times. If we venture further the run time out could exceed 2 hours. An additional fee will be added for an extended day. 

Minimum certification level is Decompression Procedures or equivalent.

 

 

Charter Fee -  4 Days Diving

$1225.00 - No Accommodation

(Twice the bottom time per day at less the cost)

$1425.00 (tax included)- 4 nights Olympus Dive Lodge - Rack style accommodation

Recommended Accommodation:
