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

SUMMARY:Markum & Hyde - October 3rd
DESCRIPTION:9 am Departure \n \n  \nOriginally built in 1945 as a working hopper dredge\, the Hyde spent decades maintaining waterways and supporting coastal infrastructure. After retirement\, she was cleaned and intentionally sunk in 1988 to create a long-term artificial reef. Today\, the Hyde is a thriving habitat—and one of the best-known wreck dives off the Wilmington coast. \n  \n  \n \n  \nSunk in the fall of 1995\, Sitting on her side in 80′ of water\, her massive hull stretches to within 40 feet of the surface. The Markham has shown many of ushow 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  \n  \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
