Wreck Dives in Morehead / Beaufort Aug 2008

Trip number: #235

Our late summer wreck trip.  If you have been the last couple of years you know that we have had really good conditions on these dates.  Warm water, smooth seas, lots of fish.  So far, no problems with hurricanes.

We look for the same this year.  We've booked the whole boat so we can do the dives WE want.  Plus we have the bunkhouse available if you are looking for a cheap place to stay.

It has been our goal to add a diffeent wreck each year. and this year is no exception.  We'll check conditions, see what's good, and go diving.  There is even a possibility of adding on an extra day of diving.

Galapagos 2009

Trip number: #208

This is it. THE trip to see it all. The Galapagos!

We have booked spots on Peter Hughes' Sky Dancer for the Galapagos in 2009. One of the newest boats in the Hughes' fleet, the SkyDancer has earned the "SmartVoyager" seal of approval for their operation.

Diving is spectacular. We booked in the middle of the Whale Shark season. It is as close to a guarantee of seeing Whale Sharks as you can get. Plus you might get to dive with bottlenose dolphins, tuna, spotted eagle rays, sea turtles, and hammerheads (if you want). Add in albatross, marine iguanas (only ones that swim in the world), seals, sea lions, giant turtles, penguins, boobies (its a bird), and more stuff than we can describe.

Per Person

Add $200.00 per person for Master Cabin

If you are a single diver and are willing to share a cabin with someone of the same sex, there is no single supplement.  Peter Hughes will find the cabin-mate.
