This trip caters to the experienced diver. This doesn't mean you have to be an "expert" diver, but you should be comfortable in the water and diving from a boat. However, you must be certified. Often times the AM charters will do drift dives and can get to depths of 80-100 feet and the second dive will be from 60-70 feet. We choose the dive sites based on water quality and customer preference but may include, Brenneckes Ledge, Ice Box, Fastlanes, General Store, and Sheraton Caverns.
