We swim with gators to
clean boats… 👀
If you didn’t know, downtown Wilmington is a HOTSPOT for alligators & boats.
The boats there are subject to hard/soft marine growth such as barnacles, sea grass, mud, etc. The divers there are subject to the gators…
The growth that occurs on these boats make them look terribly dirty and lose most of their operational efficiency.
Boat owners/brokers will reach out to a professional, local dive service to schedule one-time or recurring bottom cleans to mitigate this ongoing problem.
In this video, you’ll see diver Nick gear-up, and splash into what looks to be dirty chocolate milk to clean a sailboat.
Cape Fear Marina specifically, is a location that is known for its heavy alligator activity. Some of them reaching 14+ feet long! While we are the only divers in the area that are willing to brave these waters, we take comfort knowing that the water is getting colder & slowing these giants down.
Here’s to cold water, and heavy marine growth… ✅🫡

If we don’t cram these things full of air, we don’t work!
Some of the behind-the-scenes duties of career scuba divers usually involve filling tanks (usually for tomorrow (and usually late at night lol)).
Tonight, we reflect on the past couple years of late nights, filling tanks in this shop. This shop is Instigator Fishing & Diving Charters, owned by Cindy Norris.
For the past couple years they have been a massive source of support for us! Them, and shops like the New River Dive Center. Without their support, we wouldn’t be where we are today.
Tonight we salute them as we begin to also step into the world of filling tanks. 🫡
The takeaway: We will always be willing to show support to others and teach them things that will hopefully help mold them into better versions of themselves.
Safe diving my friends 🤙

One thing we love about Swansboro, NC is the drama & beauty that unfolds when you drive across the double bridges into Cedar Point. There’s something magical about the moment you cross over the White Oak River. The view is easily a ten out of ten!
These bridges have carried people between Swansboro and Cedar Point since 1953. The originals stood for nearly 50 years before being replaced in 2001 by the modern spans you drive across today.
Once per month, we have the pleasure of diving here under the old head boat named Nancy Lee to clean her underwater. Here’s a couple snapshots from our recent visit.
