Comments	So many sharks you can forget to look at the wrecks on a good day. We dove the Atlas, Caribsea, Indra, and Hutton. Didn't go to the U-352 due to strong currents. Great trip for sharks. I saw more than 20 on the Atlas. Crew is fun but safe and very professional. Check out Mike's pictures of the U-352 in the shop. Great stuff! A good day in North Carolina is a good as any place I've ever been. We stayed in the bunk house with the Dive Center. Better than I expected and very comfortable. A great place for socializing with other divers. Going back next year for the sharks.

Enforced diving restrictions	We did short deco dives due to the depths of some of the wrecks. Best to dive with doubles or steel 120's. I would not recommend aluminum 80's due to the dive profiles. Diving is advanced in my opinion due to the potential for strong currents, changing visibility, and distance from shore.
