Dive the Graveyard of the Atlantic with The Dive Shop On McEver

Historic Wrecks, Sharks, Tropicals and More!

North Carolina July 26th-29th

Join your fellow The DSOM Crew for a few days of diving North Carolina's Graveyard of the Atlantic. We will be diving historic shipwrecks including the German U-Boat the U-352, Indira, Cassimir, Papoose and others depending on conditions. These wrecks provide habitat for both tropical and northeast fish. It is also common to see Sand Tiger sharks up to 10 ft long, and Lionfish are now a common sight. You no longer have to get on a plane to see these wonderful creatures. These wrecks still hold artifacts as well as really huge spiny lobsters.

We will be diving Thursday  July 26th to Sunday July 29th with Olympus Dive Center in Morehead City, North Carolina. Join us for five days of adventure. This time of year water conditions are usually good. Water temperature is around 75+ degrees and visibility is about 60 ft or more. It could get bumpy so bring your favorite seasickness medication.
