Offshore North
Carolina
offers tremendous diving all year round. Bottom temps in the high 70's
are common in the Gulf Stream in the summer and vis often exceeds 50'.The
wrecks are often covered with soft corals and plenty of tropical fish
abound.
As with Virginia diving you will find the diving
to be exclusively on offshore wrecks some sunk by nature, some by marine
accident, some by action of war and some to form artificial reefs for marine
life.
