Wanted: Fun seeking divers who desire to explore historic wrecks with inhabited by sharks and all the marine life that goes with it. Underwater photography interests a plus.
Join us for 4 days of epic wreck diving with Olympus Dive Center off the NC Coast in search of amazing shark encounters. I will utilize my 6 years as a NC dive boat captain and my 20 years diving there to put us on the best wrecks possible to witness some very cool animal encounters. This is the time of the year for the sand tiger schooling event on the Caribsea. Weather permitting this will be our primary destination (but not our only one). We will go where conditions and demand warrant. I will be sharing my photographic knowledge to assist you with taking some great shots. Workshops will be organized as well as post dive social events such as cook outs or evening meals at the local restaurants. Read details below and email [email protected]. Find me on Facebook.
Happy Diving,
