This is a backwards view of the charter. Up top, you can see the racks where we stored various gear for the dives. The wrack was where our fins, mask, & snorkels went. Interestingly enough, the last day of diving I did, this whole back cover was gone, and was completely open to the sun.

This is a fairly bad picture of my dive buddy the first day out. He also happened to be close to a dive master for the group, and pretty well known down there. This was kinda nice, b/c he knew where to look for stuff, and what to look at on the various dive sites.

This was another bottom picture, as we were going along the wreck. The line was a connector between the barges and several APC's that were sunk along with the barge. I got to swim around, and in through a bunch of the APCs :)

This was a simple picture of a school of fish that were swimming by. It was amazing how close you'd be to all of those fish down there....

If you look at the bottom left of the photo, you can see a picture of a fish. We were down on the bottom, and I was trying to take a photo of the fish down there - this was the best I was able to come up with, sadly.

You can't see it too clearly, but this was some of the structure down below on the barge. There were welded a-frames, and all kinds of spaces for coral to grow and attach to.

I did managed to get a few shots of some stuff down deep. Unfortunately, I'm blanking on the names of the stuff with all the spines coming out of it. I'll update later when I remember the name.
Anyways, this was a picture of an i-beam, and if I remember where I'm at in the roll of film, this was out on my first day of diving. We were at a sunken barge called baracuda alley. Was an ok dive, but visibility definitely wasn't great.

Thi sis a backwards view on the boat we were on. The charter was Coastal Scuba based in North Myrtle Beach, SC. Was definitely a nice charter, with a 90 foot boat, knowledgeable dive master/captain, etc.

I'm leaving this here, but it probably should be deleted. I accidentally took a picture while my camera was in my gear bag :(

I tried to take some pictures of the reef/ground, but it didn't come out quite like it was to view em. If only I could have taken some really good pictures.... oh well.

This was a picture of my dive buddy for the 2nd day of diving. We were down about 52 feet or so, late evening. Was a pretty nice dive, although visibility down below was BAD. We probably had 10 foot visibility tops. Still, a fun dive :)

This was an attempt to take some photos of a dolphin - you can sorta see it almost dead center out in the ocean. A school? of dolphins was going by the boat. There were 8 or 9 of em - was VERY cool to see :)

To finish off the role, a guy who was diving on the last trip out wanted to take a bunch of pictures of the baracuda that were swimming around the dive site. These were some BIG baracuda, about 5 or 6 foot in length.
