Scuba Diving in Beaufort NC

North Carolina offers a diving experience like none other. Nowhere else will you find such excitement underwater. It’s true that we have longer boat rides, more finicky conditions, and greater depths than many other destinations. We don’t have guides to monitor your air or carry your gear, but these aspects only enhance the sense of adventure that is North Carolina diving.

Each dive in North Carolina is an experience lifted from the pages of National Geographic. Our awe-inspiring shipwrecks come with fascinating—and often tragic—tales of submarine warfare, treacherous storms, and catastrophic collisions. Even our artificial reefs evoke compelling stories of navigational feats and wartime patrols. These shipwrecks—the Graveyard of the Atlantic—constitute an unparalleled symbolic collection of our maritime history.

On that perfect day, when the sun is shining, the seas are calm, and the warm, clear water of the Gulf Stream provides almost unlimited visibility, North Carolina diving is as good as it gets anywhere in the world.

Locals Recommend

“I had to be in Virginia for a couple of days and took the opportunity to drive down and get a couple of dives in with Discovery Diving. We cannot be happier. To be straight this is not a dive boat that will pamper you and do all of the work. It is a down to earth dive operation run by divers for divers.”
