Leaving early we will head to the Meg Ledge some 50 miles out from shore. 3 dives hunting for these treasures you will show off and talk about for years to come, after all, these teeth have been buried for millions of years. its a real adrenaline rush to hunt for these teeth, bones, tusks from the megladon era.
We have chosen November specifically to take advantage of a few things, 1) before the water temps turn too cold 2) after the crazy hurricane months of September and October which will churn up the ocean exposing teeth and 3) sand tiger aggregation. We will head out early in the morning to do 3 deep dives on the wrecks that is home to the Sand Tigers of North Carolina. The sand tigers are surrounded by bait fish and are quite placid animals so easy to photograph. November brings in the aggregation of literally hundreds of these sharks spread over 3-4 wrecks in NC. We will go further out than all the other boats to the wrecks which have seen numbers in their 80's per wreck. We will have opportunity to also grab some souvenir fresh sand tiger teeth that they shed almost daily.
arrival is evening 18 or 22 Nov and Departure is Am 22nd or 26th Nov 2023 Every morning we depart for the boat at 6am sharp. We travel out on a big well equiped 50ft diveboat, under-cabin with a huge dive deck, head, kitchen area and 3 beds. Warm Heated cabin inside just in case we get cold and is perfect for the journeys out and back in. with beanbags to sleep outside for those who enjoy the air, this boat caters for all. These are all deep dives, water temp in nov is around 75 at depth 78 shallower with the ocassional thermocline. We wont be moving fast so men will need a 5mm and ladies possible layers. I have never had anyone not do all 3 dives due to cold in November.
Shared accommodations are offered and included in the trip cost, there are local hotels if single accommodations are specifically required. The house we stay is is beautiful but basic, we have laundry facilities, towels and beds are shared queen beds. kitchen facilities and closed in screen porch are great for relaxing in the evening as these are long days. We generally get home, wash gear, relax, eat and sleep. North Carolina diving is extremely weather dependent, water temperature and hopefully lower winds will see us at around 75 in the water at depth and 78 shallower. Our boat operator isn't like some others in the area, we will go out in seas others wouldn't as both the skills and the boat can saftly cater for seas of 2-3 ft as long as it is safe to do so, however, safety is our main priority. We STRONGLY recommend DAN trip insurance for NC, weatehr cancellations can unfortunately happen, we cannot control that. Dan trip insurance is $110 to cover medical, cancellation etc https://apps.dan.org/trip-insurance/?pg=plans
