There are some good dives off-shore. I used to like diving the John Morgan which was a WW2 Liberty Ship full of lend-lease arms that sank during a collision. Have not dove it in over a decade but it used to be loaded with ammo, Indian motorcycles, tanks and once in a while someone would pick up a machine gun. At one time a LDS or two would display a big old .50 cal relic MG that was found on the Morgan but not anymore. Dive Quarters LDS had their non-functional machine gun seized by the jack booted thugs. The Morgan was about 110 ft and often was a nice dive. I did get a bend hit in my right side inner ear that made me lose some hearing, gave me vertigo for a couple of years and have tennitus from it. There are a lot of wrecks but require a bit of a run.
Forget about beach diving. Lynnhaven Dive shop and Dive Quarters both are running boats. Let me know when you get closer to coming down.
