The Dive Shop - North Carolina
North Carolina diving can be a bit of a mixed bag, but The Dive Shop in Marietta does a solid job of getting divers out to explore it. They've been around a while, which means they've got the local knowledge when it comes to the area's numerous wreck sites. We've geared up with them for trips out to the U-352, and their crew knows the boat well, offering good briefings and a smooth operation. If you're looking to explore the Graveyard of the Atlantic, they're a reliable choice for local charters and getting your gear sorted.
