The Crystal Coast is host to a variety of activities other than diving. We encourage you to tack a few extra days on to your vacation to enjoy more of what the area has to offer!

The Beach:  The Crystal Coast is home to beautiful, typically uncrowded, beaches ideal for swimming, walking, shell collecting, or just relaxing. Check with the dive shop for parking recommendations!

Fishing:  There are numerous opportunities for full and half-day fishing charters. Ask us about our favorite local captains.

Cape Lookout National Seashore: No trip to the North Carolina coast is complete without a visit to a lighthouse! Ferry service to this virtually uninhabited and pristine landmark is available from Harker's Island, Morehead City, and Beaufort.

Wildlife:  Eco-tours, sailing, kayaking, and bird watching are all popular activities along the Crystal Coast. Explore the Rachel Carson Marine Preserve, Shackelford Banks, and surrounding islands. Ferries and boat rentals available from Beaufort, Atlantic Beach and Morehead City.

Museums and Historic Sites:  The North Carolina Maritime Museum, The History Place, Fort Macon State Park and the Core Sound Waterfowl Museum make for enjoyable rainy day activities.

The NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores:  Recently renovated, the Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores is the perfect place to spend a relaxing day.  You can watch and talk to the divers in the Living Shipwreck Exhibit which includes a replica of the U-352!  Olympus Dive Center is a proud sponsor of the NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores Dive Program!

Golf:  There are several area golf courses to entertain non-divers and divers alike. Stay an extra day and play a round!
