Why Dive Discovery... Why Dive Discovery...

My wife and I last weekend traveled to Beaufort, NC and I dove the U-352 (a German U-boat sunk by the USCG in 1942) over a two-day period with Discovery Diving. If you don’t know about Beaufort or Discovery as a diver you should. Both are truly hidden treasures of the SOBX. Discovery now owns its own hotel called the Beaufort Harbor Suite, which is within walking distance to the dive shop. The rooms have my four-star rating and even come with a kitchenette.

The site is a compendium of great information not only of the se...

This past weekend (Sat. - Sun., July 29-30) gave me a unique view of the OBX. After a severe storm passed through the area of Pea Island and Hatteras Village late Friday night, small craft advisories cancelled any diving that was planned for Saturday. However on Sunday, our craft the "Flying Fish" that is operated by Outer Banks Diving in Hatteras, went out south into the Atlantic to the Dixie Arrow (more information can be found at: http://www.nc-wreckdiving.com/WRECKS/DIXIE/DIXIE.HTML The roug...
