Program Description

Event Details

The waters off the fabled Outer Banks of North Carolina are often referred to as “The Graveyard of the Atlantic”. Lying in these waters are pirate ships, sunken World War II military vessels, historic Civil War era battleships and modern-day ships of all types. The entire history of the United States of America can be told by exploring the shipwrecks that lie near these dangerous shoals. Join Eco-Photo Explorers on an exciting adventure as they dive these shipwrecks and uncover the rich history that lies beneath these waves. Along the way, the audience will learn about the National Marine Sanctuary program which aims to preserve this maritime history for future generations, and they will encounter the large schools of Sand Tiger Sharks that have taken up residence here.

All welcome!
