 Early 2010

Leroy on the Captain's Lady made it out to the Naeco on Feb 21. It was 64 degrees, with 30-40' visibility
The Papoose had 61 degrees with 15 - 20' vis. Heavy baitfish, sharks and lionfish.
Closer to shore, water near the Aeolus 40-50 degrees on the surface. This winter is much different from most!

March 20-21, 2010
A beautiful weekend, multiple boats went diving today. Water temps range from 57 to 60, with vis between 15' and 25'. 
The Spar, Papoose and Naeco were dove, and reports of many sharks and even a Sunfish were heard. 
This year has seen the coldest water temps in a long, long time.

April 2010

From April 3 to April 8, we took a group of photographers and writers on an Intracoastal Waterway cruise from Beaufort, NC to Beaufort SC. A beautiful stretch of weather made the trip fantastic- 6 days and 5 nights on the Atlantis IV- cooking, sightseeing and sleeping on board. Each night we stopped at a Marina and took advantage of restaurants and took in the local scenes. Taking an 'off white' boat down the ICW is a great way to meet people and spark conversations!
Photos are available on the Atlantis Charters Facebook page!
