Oui, I am planning to make it to Beaufort. I live not more than 2 hours from Beaufort....lovely little town.

I took part in the QAR Dive Down program last summer in Beaufort, NC. It was a two day program that consisted of classes both mornings and a dive each afternoon. The first day was general information about the are, what the geology was like and what sea creatures we could expect to see. The first day we did what they called a familiarization dive on the Theodore Parker, a sunken Liberty ship in the area. The second day, we had classes on Blackbeard and the QAR specifically and then did a dive on the wrecksite. I have been told that so much sand had moved onto the site that the program did not happen this year (or if it did it was a different set-up). Hopefully they can get it started again next year.

As for the experience, it was amazing! At the end of the QAR dive, we were told to head to the North anchor where the photographer with the group took pictures of the buddy groups having a "moment with Blackbeard." Absolutely fabulous!! We received a Heritage Diver specialization from the dive organization PADI. I kept EVERYTHING from that program...one of the top 10 experiences in my life!

Good day to you all!

I attended my first event, the School of the Sailor in Deltaville, this year, and I have been bitten by the bug (among many others that joined us in Deltaville). I had the pleasure of meeting several Pub members there and have decided to join you folks here on the Pub. I am looking forward to learning from and interacting with you all on the site, and I am looking forward to seeing/meeting more of you at the next event I am able to attend.
