Back offshore we go. Two days of deep Atlantic diving out of Wilmington, NC, combining Megalodon shark tooth ledges with one of the most iconic WWII wrecks in the region. This trip is built for divers who want history, hunt, and honest offshore conditions — not amusement-park diving.
This is not a sightseeing drift dive. This is for divers who like their stories heavy, their finds black and enamel-thick, and their dives planned properly.
*If you don't have your AOW or Nitrox certifications don't worry, DWF has you covered. But we should get you taken care of sooner rather than later?
