Sites about NC Wrecks and wreck diving;

 

BFDC & North Carolina SCUBA and WRECK DIVING Web Page Descriptions and some great photos of NC shipwrecks by Paul Hudy.  (#1 on Google for NC Diving, but who knows why?)

WWW Links to dive shops and clubs we like a lot;

Technosport is the place to get your spearfishing gear.  OMER is their primary line and Mark really knows all about the sport of freediving and spearing. 
Goddard Sea Ventures Dive Club, Dive club based in MD near Wash DC.

Atlantis Rangers Dive Club, Very active Wash DC based Dive Club.


Forums about NC wreck diving;

 

NC Divers.com - A Scuba site with forums, links and info about NC Diving

SCUBA board NC Diving forum - Not as active as the above forum, but still a great place to discus NC Wreck Diving.


Some great paces to go diving other than the NC Outer Banks:

 

Arista-Kat Charters can take you diving on wrecks or hunting for Megladon Teeth in "The Bone Yard" just off Venice, on the West Coast of Florida.   It is some great diving offshore and a real Easter egg hunt for the big shark teeth. 

 

Jupiter Dive Center has a good operation offering diving in clear waters loaded with big sea life.  Boats leave from right outside the shop.  I have dived with them several times and never been disappointed.  Florida East Coast diving doesn't get any better - not Hatteras but still very good.

 

Minnow Dive Charters is the choice if you want to dive the middle Keys.  Give Jeff a call and he can take you diving from Key Largo to some great sites.
