I've been talking with several of the members here (especially the SCRUBS subforum guys) about trying to get to North Carolina this summer to dive with the sand tiger sharks again. Walt Stearns, Alan Studley, my daughter and I were there last August with a mix of CCR and OC divers and had a great time.

Walt is organizing a special three-day wrecks and sharks charter for North Carolina.

The wrecks will include the Papoose, U-352 and others. The sharks, well… sand tigers of course, being that they are the flavor of the region and regulars on the wrecks.

The charter is reserved with the Midnight Express at Olympus Dive Center in Morehead City, August 20, 21 and 22, 2008.

The three-day charter will be kept exclusively for rebreather divers. No open circuit.

The Midnight Express is designed to handle 18 passengers. Walt and I have the first two spots, leaving openings for 16.

The charter cost for the three days is $435.00 per diver. Meals and accommodations are up to you. Olympus Dive Center’s has a Dive lodge, which provides a rather inexpensive lodging option for $25 a night.

For more info on both diving North Carolina and Olympus Dive Center you can go to Underwater Journal (go see UWJ-issue2.pdf and the current issue UWJ-issue7.pdf) Also you can visit Olympus Dive Center’s website - Home.
