Item Description

 

A weekend of diving for one scuba diver with Olympus Dive Center out of Morehead City, North Carolina, including accommodations at Olympus Dive Lodge, plus 2 dives per day.

 

Scuba diving in North Carolina is truly an incredible experience! Fed by the warm clear waters of the Gulf Stream, it has incredible visibility and comfortable temperatures making NC Diving always top rated by scuba enthusiasts and dive publications. North Carolina is also referred to as the “Graveyard of the Atlantic.” More than 2,000 ships have sunk in these waters since people began keeping records in 1526, and Olympus Dive Center knows the best wrecks to dive off the coast of North Carolina. So if North Carolina wreck diving is what you're interested in, this is a premier dive charter with the knowledge and experience to show you a great time!

And if it is sandtiger sharks you’d like to dive with – North Carolina is the place! Unlike shark dives in other destinations, Olympus doesn’t chum the water or feed the sharks; the sharks are here year around. While they occasionally frequent all of Olympus’ dive sites they are more commonly present on the wrecks of the Spar, the Papoose, the Atlas, the Caribsea and the Aeolus.

The Olympus Divers’ Lodge is located within two blocks of the shop, providing divers with economical accommodations and the opportunity to meet and socialize with divers from around the country. The lodge has 32 bunks in five separate rooms, a large lounge equipped with color TV/DVD/ VCR with cable, microwave, and refrigerator. It is a great area for post-dive relaxation and socializing!

 Includes: Two nights and two days accommodation for one scuba diverat the Olympus Dive Lodge, plus two days of dives either on the 65-foot Olympus (25 passengers) or the 48-foot Midnight Express (18 passengers). Weights provided.
