Get the Diver's Souvenir of a Lifetime!

Have you ever imagined what it would be like to scuba dive 10 million years ago? Now you can dive where the ancient Megalodon once lived and recover fossil evidence of its massive teeth. We are headed to the clear waters off the coast of North Carolina to a rich trove of fossil teeth.  In 2010, divers averaged 70-80 teeth recovered per trip - three to five inch teeth are frequently found, with an occasional monster exceeding six inches!

Brian and Dan D. recovered over 110 complete teeth from Megalodons, as well as prehistoric Mako and Great Whites while working as a team in 2011. Several of their findings are on display at Huron Scuba. Come check them out, put them in your hands and you will see for yourself why people who have come on this trip in the past, always sign up for a second, or third or forth year !  Tooth-fever is incurable and we are proud to spread the infection to our dive travel teams every year. Join us for Meg Quest 2012.

Megalodon was about 60 feet long, and weighed as much as 77 TONS. It preyed on whales and large fish.

Each trip includes three days of 2-tank shark teeth hunting diving at a secret location in the clear ocean off the coast of North Carolina and 3 nights lodging. Limited to just 5 divers per trip, even with room for 6 divers now, this will be a trip that sells out fast. Minimum of Deep Diver certification is mandatory, as these are working dives between 80-110 feet with minimal decompression possible. Due to the nature of this trip, it is by application only - no one is guaranteed a space until his or her application and deposit have been received, reviewed and approved by management.  If your application is not accepted, your deposit will be refunded.

Other fossil diving trips drop you in a murky river to deal with snakes and alligators while you hunt for small fossils in dark, no-vis, fast-moving water. On this trip, you'll be in the open ocean, with great visibility for your hunt. One drawback to open ocean diving is the weather - historically, conditions allow meg teeth dive boats to go out about 60% of the scheduled days.

Trip Cost: Trip cost is TBD for 2012 and will include scooter rental to maximize your tooth-finding opportunities.  (2011 cost was $999 for similar package, so based on diving, accommodations, scooter availability and fuel prices, we will use 2011 as a guesstimate until the 2012 prices solidify). A non-refundable $350 deposit holds your space, and the balance must be paid no later than March 15, at which point all monies become non-refundable. Once your payment in full has been made, you will then be given the exact location for our accommodations and diving. Special equipment advice will be provided regarding cylinders, tooth collecting equipment, and reels. If the boat captain cancels a day of diving due to weather or mechanical issues, divers will be refunded $TBD (2011 refunds were $150)  per lost day of diving.

With the rising cost of fuel a surcharge is expected.  This is not covered in your trip fees but will probably only range in price from $5 - $20 per person per day depending upon the price of fuel and the distance we go each day.
