If you want to go to new places and experience some interesting diving, then you'll want to join us on our East Coast Dive Tour. Tiedemann's Diving Centers own Jim Vafeas, has come up with some interesting local destinations for weekend dive trips.

These trips are geared towards the Novice and Intermediate diver. The dives are used to gain experience, improve your skills, meet new club divers, become more comfortable in the water and visit some of the fantastic dive locations only a few hours from home.

Here's what we have planned for the 2011 season.

Wreck Diving in Morehead City, North Carolina
Wednesday, July 4 - through Monday, July 9
Join us during our trip to dive the spectacular wrecks in the "Graveyard of the Atlantic". An awesome blend of Caribbean water conditions and big Northeast-style wrecks over 6 days of diving.

Important Information for All Interested Divers

Many of these mini-trips require booking accommodations and charter boats well in advance, similar to all our regular warm-water trips. The sooner we know who is committed to the trips via deposits, the better our chances are of not losing the charter, the accommodations, or worse, canceling the entire trip!

We do not "max-out" the number of divers that can fit on the charter boats. Therefore we usually have a low, set limit on the number of divers we can comfortably bring.

So don't miss out or watch a trip you're interested in get cancelled. Sign up today to secure your spot! Thanks!
