Morehead City, NC, USA (Aug 6 - 10, 2019)

We're heading to Morehead City, NC, Aug 6 - 10, 2019, for three days of diving on some seriously historic wrecks, and looking for Sand Tiger Sharks while we're at it. We're working with our Dive Operator to prioritize a trip to the WWII German submarine, U-352, sunk by the US Coast Guard Cutter Icarus in 1942, as well as hitting some wrecks known to be regularly visited by Sand Tiger Sharks.

As this is a domestic trip, we will be coordinating hotel rooms, rental cars, airfare, etc., with our Divers once the list is together. Plan is to stay in a recommended hotel (diver discount), two per room, to share costs. Will also finalize transportation (rental van or multiple cars). Estimate $700 for hotel and transportation for the trip. Dorm style housing at the Diver Operator site is available for $20 per night (2018 rates).

For now, the cost of the trip is $390 to cover the diving. Full payment to reserve. We currently have reserved eight spaces.

I did the SSI open water certification and purchased some of my gear through them and I would highly recommend CI scuba for anyone interested in getting certified or buying gear.

"Just got open water certified! CIS took care of everything in a very professional and organized manner. Mike was a fantastic instructor, and he really cared about getting each one of us certified. We were able to efficiently reschedule times for open water training due to bad weather. I really feel that I have benefited from this class and feel very comfortable diving because of it. I would highly recommend CIS!"
