Winston - my name is Micah, and welcome to the area. I currently live in Fredericksburg, VA, and am always looking for a dive buddy for Lake Rawlings. I generally do not dive before April here in VA, but am very active come early spring and throughout the summer.

I also try to get down to Morehead City, NC as often as possible for really amazing diving. pleas stay in touch and let me know if / when you want to get together. Headed down to Florida for a long weekend doing Blue grotto, Devils Den and Crystal River(snorkeling here) on Feb 13,14,15 with The Dive Shop in Richmond.

Michael - I have been looking at a Morehead City trip for this summer. I have been trying to get down to NC for the past few years, but have yet to make it. During late spring and through the summer, I try and get to Rawlings at least once per month. Have fun in Florida, sounds like it will be a great trip!!

Micah,

The Dive Shop in Richmond has 4-5 Morehead City trips going starting in June. I was there is October and November last year and the dives were amazing. I will get the dates and post them here. I will be at the lake a bunch this spring doing my dive master dives and then probably working on OWI. reach out when you want to get wet.

Mike

Hi guys, Id like to toss my name out there as well. I live in D.C. do the quarries a lot and have done Morehead a few times. My late summer is pretty booked but would love to hit some quarries in the early summer and early fall.
