It's nearing the end of the dive season here so every chance to dive is precious. I was given the opportunity to dive today, so a day of vacation time was well worth it. We headed to the U-85. It was a wonderful day to be on the water, with clear, crisp blue skies, and nice water. On the bottom visibility was anywhere from 10-25 feet depending on where you were. With the sun so low in the sky, the wreck was a bit dark, and the water still churned from past storms, gave the wreck an eerie hue of green. There's no better way to dive a U-boat!
Enjoy!!

love the penultimate pic!
very nice.
Here there OBX, those are some excellent wreck diving photos. I do really miss wreck diving. I got to do some of it when I was in the states doing my Trimix training in September, it was awesome.
Does the wreck diving season end in NC? In NJ we dove all winter long. Sometimes it was unbearably cold be we still did it. Come to think of it I dove on new years day 2007. It was 27F and there was a quarter inch of ice on the boat. Brr...... that was cold. I think we did two short dives on the cooper wreck or the granite wreck in like 60ft of water.
I am not sure I have to do that again! Well, not until I move back to the states.
