Enjoy a mix of tropical and game fish; count on diving with sand tiger sharks on every trip; and keep you eye out for the lion fish, conger eels and turtles. Discovery has a complete dive shop for rental equipment and air/NITROX fills and provides a bunkhouse just steps from the dock to help keep costs low.

Our August trips will cost just $180 for charter, bunk and fills. Drive down Saturday morning; dive Saturday afternoon and Sunday moring; and return Sunday evening. Weather permitting the August 4-5 charter will visit the wreck of the German WWII submarime U-352. Our August 18-19 charter will go to the Atlas and Ashkabad. Both trips are on 47' crew boats with ample inside seating.

Our October trip will use the 35' Captains Lady. Captain Leroy Craytor has promised to find us some unique wrecks to dive. That trip will include longer off-shore runs and two nights lodging and will cost about $230. Drive down on Friday and return on Sunday.

The Grand Strand is loaded with some of the best dive sites on the East Coast! Beautiful natural shipwreck sites range in age from the 1720's to the 1960's, with many from the Civil War era. Dive sites team with marine life, including angel fish, grouper, amberjack, butterfly fish, great Atlantic barracuda, sea turtles, and lobster. Lionfish are now abundant! On many of the sites you may find "sunken treasures" of brass artifacts that went down with the ship. You could find Civil War belt buckles, trigger guards, gun butt plates, bottles, china, small personal items and maybe a port hole.

The Rangers have rented a 4BR beachhouse with pool for a full week starting Saturday May 26. Dive are scheduled Sunday and Monday and optionally any day the following week withExpress Water Sports out of Murrell's Inlet SC. We plan trips to all natural wrecks including the Governor (80’), the Hebe (110’) and St. Cathlan (110’) and Vermillion (90-140’) and expect water at least 75F and visibility in the 50-100’ range.
