Proteus

The Proteus, a coastal passenger steamer, went down in 1918 after a nighttime collision while running the wartime coast, and a century underwater has reduced her to the eloquent essentials: towering engine, boilers, shafts, and a bow section rising from pale sand at 36 m. This is the deep classic of the Morehead City roster, bathed more often than not in indigo Gulf Stream water. Sand tigers patrol the machinery in numbers, joined in late summer by whatever the Stream ferries past - big amberjack, African pompano, rays, and the occasional surprise that keeps charter captains telling stories. Depth makes the visits short; the atmosphere makes them memorable.

Tam da bunun için geldiğiniz an: Century-old steamer bones in blue water, sand tigers over the machinery, Gulf Stream wildcards

Topografya: Collapsed passenger steamer - engine, boilers, bow - standing proud of the sand

Akıntı: Far offshore in the Gulf Stream's lane - blue water is common, so is flow.

Tehlikeler: Depth at the edge of recreational limits; current; distance offshore commits the day to the weather.

Nitrox: Burada değer: profiller, nitrox'un no-stop süresini anlamlı ölçüde uzattığı (ve bunu kullanacak eğitimle birlikte) aralıkta yer alıyor.
