Diving in N. Myrtle Beach, S.C.
This is a copy of a trip report I wrote a few years back. A few of us were talking about it in the chat room the other day, so I thought I would post it. Unfortunately, I’ve heard Dolphin Dive Charters is no longer running trips, but the dive sites are still there. This is the trip I video’d the Hebe and BP-25 videos on my profile. I had to laugh reading it, as in the text, I complain about the cost to fill up my truck with gas...$46.00, It cost me $92.00 on Monday...same truck. Hope you enjoy. ...

S.C. Wreck Diving
First of all, I have to thank the crew down in Murrells Inlet, S.C.! These guys are a first rate SCUBA diving shop and diving outfit. Southern hospitality and professionalism at its best. So, on with the story: The first day of three was spent a "staff only dive". Just a day for the Sterling Silver SCUBA staff and a few close friends to get in a fun dive without having to concentrate on the needs of students and recreational divers under our charge. Anyway, we got underway without a hitch and re...

Megalodon Teeth Adventure, Cooper River, SC
It all started with an 8 hour drive to Charleston, SC. The first couple of dives were open water on Friday (28 Sep 07) because Capt Tom cancelled the river dive. He had some earlier cancellations which left just me on the boat. He only needed one more person to go for insurance reasons but his regular divers were out of town. So instead of wasting the day I decided to hop on the off shore charter for that day. It was ok for the most part. The worst part about it was the boat ride out and back. 1...
