Diving the Coast of South Carolina. The Wreck of the Sherman. 6 of us dove this past Sunday 7-20-08 even with the tropical storm looming near Wilmington. The seas going out in the morning were about 6-8 ft and by the time we got in the water for the first dive the seas had calmed down to 2-4 and by the end of the second dive the seas were 1-2 ft. Both dives had 5-10 ft visiblity but that allowed me to find the bullets in the sand. So all in all the dives where very good.

The Sherman:

Originally a 200 ft. blockade-runner, this 120 year old post-Civil War wreck lies in 53 feet of water about 6 miles from Little River Inlet. It sank running guns between us and CUBA. Always surrounded by multitudes of marine life, the SHERMAN also offers a variety of artifacts for the careful hunter. US belt buckles, buttons, bottles and fossils have been found on this site
