World class shipwreck diving and shark diving just a short drive away. Here’s your opportunity to explore some of history’s most famous shipwrecks in the warm and clear gulfstream waters off North Carolina.

Feel the History... Literally!  We have plans to dive 3 U-Boats this summer with more to follow.  Join us to dive these Wolves of the Sea and explore their history and that of the US merchant fleet history during World War II an era of unprecedented violence and great heroism set against a backdrop of a world in chaos.

Our first stop is the U-352, off the coast of North Carolina near More head City.  We'll be diving form the Diver Down with Captain Bobby Cox.  This is a classic, must see wreck in 115 ft of water, sunk May 9, 1942 by the US Coast Guard cutter Icarus. <learn more>

Our next stop is the U-701.  Launched in 1941, the U-701 sunk 9 ships and damaged 4 other before be laid to rest off Cape Hatteras in 115 feet.  The wreck is considered an advanced dive. Weather is often difficult and space on our dive boat will be very limited. <learn more>

Our finals stop the year will be the U-85.  The U-85 had four patrols in American water and sunk 3 ships.  I was sunk on June 7, 1942 by the USS Roper. <learn more>

All of our dives will be within in recreational dive limits.  We will visit the U-Boats and several other sunken vessels in the area as we explore each of their history during this tumultuous period of our world's and nation's history. 

All participants must be certified as Advanced Open Water and Nitrox certification prior to embarking on the boat.  We will be providing a Free Wreck Diver Specialty Instruction during the tour although it is not likely that we would completed it in any single weekend.  Final certification requires some materials and a certification card form PADI both of which are additional charges.

Travel Assist and Dive Insurance is required and space on these weekends are limited. So please call Dive Connections for info and to reserve you spot today.  434-964-9200 or email
