Myrtle Beach Area Diving

[kml7605]

Hello,
We have been invited to Myrtle Beach by some friends, and will be coming down in August. I dive NC a lot, but never SC. Can someone give me the scoop on where to dive in the area.

Thanks,
Kevin

I dove Barracuda Alley with Coastal Scuba last week. Their store is in North Myrtle Beach and their boat is a few miles north on the Little River. The Barracuda Alley site is about 11 miles off-shore in about 62 feet of water. The site is a man-made reef made from a sunken barge and several amored personel carriers. As the name suggests, there were plenty of barracudas aroung. Overall, it was a great 1/2 day trip.

Express Watersports out of Murrell's Inlet is a good op if you'll be on that side of MB.

Nu Horizons has trips leaving the north and south ends of the beach.

From their site, it looks like you will be diving the Sherman. Is that correct? I heard good things about that site. I originally was going to dive there, but the dive got cancelled due to the weather. I did Barracuda Alley instead. Plan on doing the Sherman and possibly the Governor next summer.
