SUMMARY:Dredge Wreck and Stone Tug (10 am Departure)
DESCRIPTION:Number of Dives on This Charter: 2 \n10:00 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. \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. During the summer white grunts cover the entire wreck in what I think is a spawning aggregation \n\n \nThe R.R. Stone is a small tug lying upright in 65ft of water 14 miles out of Masonboro Inlet and is about 10 miles of Carolina Beach. The Stone was sunk as an artificial reef in 1985. It is located within a few hundred yards of the Old Dredge wreck and the Pocahontas. It is a small (85ft long) but fun wreck to dive. \nThe sea has taken it’s toll on the Stone. It was intact with many swim throughs but storms ripped off the bridge in 2003. The bridge now sits upside down off to the ships starboard side. Sand Tigers make this wreck there home during the summer months along with the typical inshore fish. In 2004 a large manta ray showed up on the Stone allowing one of my buddies to ride it for several minutes. \nReserve your seat with a $50 deposit or call us at (919) 341-2787. \n

SUMMARY:Full Face Mask: Friday July 31st
DESCRIPTION:PADI FULL FACE MASK\nFRIDAY Series: Free Air Tanks. \nWorking divers\, such as public safety divers\, use full face masks because they protect the eyes and nose from contaminants in the water\, provide comfort in cold water\, and allow for communication.

The Markham has shown many of us how fast the ocean can make art of iron. Marine life including schools of bait fish\, amber jack\, mackerels and barracuda\, as well as the occasional Sand Tiger Shark\, make this dive a must-see!! \n \nNumber of Dives on This Charter: 2 \nCharter Cost: $135 \nLE — Less Experienced: Open Water Certified with less than 10 North/South Carolina boat dives. \nDivers can earn their Advanced Open Water Certification or Wreck Specialty Certification on this dive charter. \n  \nReserve your seat with a $50 deposit or call us at (919) 341-2787. \n
