10-31	Liberty Ship	20'+	68F	None	Many divers take this site for granted, but for 3 miles from shore I think it's one of the most exciting wrecks that we go to.
10-30	Lobster Ledge	20'	73F	Mild	"Saw a Lion Fish at 110', and a huge Loggerhead about 3' across shell."  From Terry via e-mail.
10-30	Hyde / Markham	20'	70F	Mild	The visibility was not quite what we had hoped because there had been a full moon coral spawn and the larvae were clouding the water and forming slicks on the surface. Mark one more for Mother Nature!
10-28	Hyde	10'	70F	Strong	Thought it would be better, recent swell and lunar tides must have stirred up the silt within the wreck.
10-28	Stone Tug	15'	69F	Surge	Should be better by the weekend!
10-07	23 Mile Ledge	70'-80'	76F	-	"We made seven dives yesterday (Thursday Oct. 7th)."
10-07	15 Mile Ledge	60'	76F	-	"We started at 23 Mile and worked our way towards shore."

08-19	Gill / Hyde	15'-20'	80F	Mild	Water color at the bottom was a milky green indicating that a algae/plankton bloom is in effect. Often after a storm nutrients are released from the substrate or are drawn up from deeper water which can initiate a macrobiotic proliferation event.
08-17	Ed's Lobster Wreck	N/A	N/A	N/A	Blue surface water, but no diving to report.
08-10	Hyde / Markham	50'	81F	None	Exciting!
08-08	Stone Tug	40'	80F	None	Active bait fish (Cigar minnows, Mullet, etc.) being watched closely by the Barracudas. Nice warm water!
08-08	Liberty Ship	20'-25'	81F	None	Top shelf inshore diving at high tides right now.
08-08	33 Mile Lidge	30'	75F	Mild	Lobsters galore but still messy water at depth.
08-08	Frying Pan Tower	20'-30'	77F	Mild	Tons of marine life but a stirred up bottom-water.
08-07	8 Mile Ledge	25'	81F	Mild	Great dive site for sea shells (especially after a storm) and invertebrates like Arrowhead crabs and Featherduster worms.
08-07	Hyde / Markham	50'	81F	None	Three different shark species located on one dive: Sand tiger (big guys w/gnarly teeth), Sandbar (traditional looking shark) and Nurse (lays on the bottom).
---	July 2004	------	---------	--------	------------------ July 2004  -----------------
07-30	Stone / Dredge	25' - 30'	77F	None	Manta Ray Madness!!! A rare encounter with an 8' Atlantic Manta Ray that lasted the entire dive at the Stone Tug. She was so playful and curious that, although not recommended, many divers got the opportunity to touch her.
07-27	23 Mile Ledge	80"+	81F	Mild	Stormy weather in the morning dissipated quickly, leaving lots of sunshine and calm, clear water.  Many lobsters, eels, and angelfish.
07-24	Cassimir / LobLedge	Unlimited	80F	None	Oil slick-like sea surface, water so clear it looked indigo, and lots of fish of all sizes. Epic dive trip.
07-24	Stone	60"+	81F	Mild	Very clear all the way to the sand and no thermocline!
07-23	Liberty Ship	5' - 10'	78F	Mild	Hazy water, lots of suspended particulate matter. Plenty of fish life including Barracudas and Oyster Cracker Toadfish.
07-23	8 mile Ledge	30'	82F / 77F	Mild	Morning storms reduced visibility but the seas were flat.
07-22	Hyde / Markham	60' / 30'	82F / 76F	None	Slick glassy seas. No current. Great water clarity.
07-21	Stone / Dredge	60' / 20'	82F / 75F	Mild	Interesting conditions: South swell and current against a North wind. Also, the vis went from clear to milk at 50' and the temp dropped 8 degrees, lots of cool macro loife to see though.
07-20	Gill / Hyde	40' - 70'	82F / 76F	Mild	Pleasant dives and surprisingly good water clarity. Lots of schooling Amberjack and some nice tropical fish on both wrecks.
07-15	Hyde / Schoolhouse Barge	40' - 60'	81F / 75F	Mild - Mod	The Schoolhouse is a great alternative to the more often dived sites and it is covered in marine life. Underwater naturalists can locate such species as the High-hat fish living within the wreck, which is easily penetrable.
07-11	Stone Tug	50'	77F	None	One of the most alive dive sites we go to. The entire food pyramid is represented at this wreck. I can't remember the last night dive we've done there but now is the time!
07-10	Lobster Ledge	70'+	77F	Mild	Great dive as always, clear water and even a few bugs crawling around.
07-09	Hyde / Markham	70' / 50'	79F / 73F	Mild - Moderate	In 50 square feet of wreck at the Markham we saw 5 stingrays, 1 Loggerhead turtle, 7 sharks,  and 3 Barracuda. Oh yeah, and the Spanish Macks were everywhere, just chewing up the bait!
07-07	Gill / Sharktooth Ledge	Unlimited / 60'	81F / 72F	Moderate	Refreshing temps and some water movement on the bottom. Old Loggerhead turtle joined us on the ledge dive. Found a fossilized Carcharadon megalodon tooth!
07-07	8 mile / 5 mile Ledges	20'-30'	80F / 75F	Mild	Great places for fish identification - tropicals and benthics (bottom dwelling organisms) everywhere! Also saw Arrowhead crabs and Queen Helmet snails.
07-06	Hyde / Markham	60'	76F	Mild	Bumpy seas make the underwater world seem that much more peaceful. 100 dives on these sites won't uncover all of the explorable opportunities.
07-05	Gill / Markham	80' / 60'	80F / 75F	Mild	Thermocline beginning to develop which is common in summer. Many of Wrightsville Beach's wrecks have over 25' of relief so it is easy to find a balance of temperature, visibility, and depth.
07-04	Hyde / Markham	60'	77F	Moderate	Guaranteed awesome dives... the best of what North Carolina has to offer: shipwrecks, sharks and warm, clear water.
07-03	Frying Pan Tower	50'	78F	Moderate - Strong	The Tower is a diving icon known along the entire East Coast. Tropical and deep water species are abundant in only 50' of depth. Lunar tides created a decent current which reduced the viz but it's always a memorable experience.
07-01	Hyde - Night Dive	60'	80F / 75F	Moderate	Lights, Cameras, Action! Incredible feeding behaviors from the 'Cudas, Bonito and Pompano. 11 Sand Tiger sharks chilling out on the stern. Decent current from the West and a Thermocline at 60'.
07-01	John D. Gill	80'	78F	None	"Crystal black; water, large schools of bait fish... stellar day!" -Scott Corbet
---	June 2004	----------	----------	----------	----------------------  June 2004   ------------------------
06-30	Liberty Ship	10'-20'	79F	None	Stayed near or inside the wreck to avoid light pollution, still a great dive.
06-30	8 Mile Ledge	20'-30'	78F	Mild	Lots of schooling Spadefish and some Triggerfish also. This ledge is great because it is rarely dived.
06-28	Hyde / Markham	60'+	78F	Mild	Lots of Sargasso weed and Flying fish, good signs of Gulf Stream water near shore!
06-27	Hyde / Markham	60'+	78F	Mild	Turtles, Rays, Sharks... oh my!
06-24	Liberty Ship	15'-25'	79F	None	Surprisingly clear water given the recent weather, best visibility underneath the overhangs. Active marine life including Spanish Mackerel, Amberjack and  Barracuda.
06-23	Masonboro Inlet Jetty	2'-3'	78F	Tidal	Late in the day on the North Jetty, water was clear but the low tide stirred up the particulate matter. Not many gamefish but lots of juvenile flounder.
06-22	John D. Gill (WR-4)	40'-50'	75F	Mild	Dive into American History on the Gill. Lots of swim-thru's and packed with marine life.
06-19	Hyde / Markham	60'	76F	None	Big bait schools on both wrecks and lots of feeding activity from the Jacks and Barracuda. Cool Octopus on the Markham.
06-18	Hyde / Markham	60'-100'+	74F	Mild	"You could see most of each wreck as soon as you put your face in the water!" Sightings: Loggerhead Sea Turtle and numerous Sand-Tiger sharks!
06-16	5 mi. Barge	15'	75F	Mild	Great swim-thru's, vis was better inside the wreck...
06-16	8 mile ledge	25'	75F	Mild	Big stingray, several flounder
6-14	Stone Tug / Dredge Wreck	60'+	76F	None	As good as NC diving gets - Calm and clear and tons of fish
