SUMMARY:Dredge Wreck and Stone Tug - Sept. 13th
DESCRIPTION:Number of Dives on This Charter: 2 \n9:00 am Departure \nCharter Cost: $125 \nLE — Less Experienced: Open Water Students can complete Check Out Dives 3 and 4 on this charter. \nOpen Water Certified with less than 10 North/South Carolina boat dives. \nDivers can earn their Boat Specialty or Wreck Specialty Certification on this dive charter. \n  \nThe Dredge Wreck is about 14 miles from Masonboro Inlet in 65 ft of water. It is in close proximity to the Stone tug and the Pocahontas. The name of the Dredge Wreck is the Playa an 800-ton dredge. It sunk in February 1931 while being towed to Morehead City. A month after the sinking of the Playa\, the Coast Guard dynamited the wreck so it wouldn’t be a hazard to navigation. \nThis is a cool little dive. The entire wreck can easily be explored on a single dive. The most noticeable part of the wreck is the thousands of bricks lying all over the site. As you swim beyond the bricks you run into the engine and then into a long boom that stretches out over the sand. Wreckage is scattered around the perimeter and wood timbers can still be seen rising from the sand. Lots of life congregates around the wreck due to all the places to hide between the scattered bricks and rusted out engine. \nReserve your seat with a $50 deposit or call us at (919) 341-2787. \n
