AQUATIC SAFARIS SCUBA CENTER
WILMINGTON, NC
Aquatic Safaris SCUBA Center sits at 7041 Wrightsville Avenue in Wilmington, just a short run from Wrightsville Beach and the marina where its charter boats load up for the Atlantic. This is a full-service dive operation rather than simply a place to rent a tank. Visitors can sign up for PADI training, arrange an offshore wreck charter, rent or purchase equipment, fill recreational and technical cylinders, have gear serviced, or get help planning a larger dive trip. The shop includes an air-conditioned classroom, retail showroom, equipment-rental operation, service area, parking, and access to two purpose-built, USCG-inspected dive boats.
What folks tend to remember most is the chance to explore real North Carolina wrecks with a crew that works these waters regularly. Divers have praised patient instructors, helpful charter crews, comfortable boats, and memorable encounters with sharks, rays, barracuda, sea turtles, schools of fish, and the old ships resting off the Cape Fear coast. The company has been operating since 1988, and that long local history shows in the wide range of sites it schedules—from shallow nearshore wrecks suitable for newer divers to offshore ledges and wrecks reaching roughly 120 to 130 feet.
