Charleston Tug – New Diver Charter: Friday October 9th
October 9
Charleston Tug: This artificial reef lies in 62 feet of water just off the coast of North Myrtle Beach. The 130 foot tug is sitting upright with the top at about 30 feet and bottoms out at 62 feet. This dive consistently produces the best inshore dive visibility. Â Because the wreck’s deck sits well within shallow recreational limits, it provides the perfect, controlled environment for Open Water students to safely complete their check-out dives 3 and 4.
The wreck has transformed into a bustling marine highway. As you explore the vessel, expect to encounter resident Grouper, schooling Barracudas, Spanish Mackerel, Spadefish, Oyster Toad Fish, and Black Sea Bass, while sharp-eyed divers can spot tiny Gobies and the occasional hidden Octopus.
As a unique bonus, the dive also features an adjacent field of submerged Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) just waiting to be explored.
