Trip Report and Photos from North Carolina CCR-only trip -- August 20-22

I wasn't on this trip but I gotta chime in and add my props for Olympus. They are truly a WORLD CLASS operation and they are the only group I'd dive with on the NC coast. I'm lucky enough to be in weekend driving distance from Morehead City and take advantage of it any chance I can.

It doesn't surprise me that they are interested in creating a more rebreather-friendly capability in their dive operations. My impression has been that these guys will go over and above to make their customers happy.

We had couple sharks at different times come up and hang under the boat during the shallow stops. You'll almost think they enjoyed the company over a bunch of loud bubble blowers.
