Company description Coastal Scuba is a full-service PADI dive facility, located right in the heart of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, offering scuba diving and fishing!
The Grand Strand is loaded with some of the best dive sites on the East Coast!! We have a high concentration of beautiful natural shipwreck sites that range in age from the mid 1800`s to the 1960`s, with many from the Civil War and WWII era. We also have several reefs that contain intact ships! While you`re here, be sure to check out Barracuda Alley,- a project spear-headed by Coastal Scuba and the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources!
Our dive sites are usually teaming with marine life, including angel fish, grouper, amberjack, butterfly fish, great Atlantic barracuda, sea turtles, and even the occasional lobster! In recent years even lionfish have been discovered living on our wrecks! On many of the sites you may find ``sunken treasures`` of brass artifacts that went down with the ship. These may include Civil War belt buckles, trigger guards, gun butt plates, bottles, china, small personal items, and port holes,- just to name a few.
Coastal Scuba brings together years of experience from its captains, instructors and dive masters. Our goal is to make your diving experience the best you have had in the Carolinas, with something to offer every diver from the newly certified, to the seasoned veteran. Thank you for making us your first choice in South Carolina scuba diving charters and lessons!
We are proud to present the Safari IV! This 45 foot customized dive boat is sleek enough to get you to dive sites quickly, sturdy enough to offer you stability against the occasionally unpredictable Atlantic, and yet roomy and spacious on board, complete with a full size head (bathroom), 2 ice coolers for your snacks, and a professional crew. She carries all Coast Guard required equipment including first aid kit and oxygen.
We are also proud to announce the addition of the Little River Fishing Fleet to our company!: The Pride of the Carolinas and the Sundancer are outfitted for both fishing and scuba diving, running trips year round based on customer demand.
Remember, demand for diving is high in the summer, so please book early. All weekends are especially busy. But best of all,... if mother nature prohibits us from diving there are numerous topside activities for you to enjoy. These include over 100 fantastic golf courses, thousands of restaurants and bars, theaters, and much, much more. We pride ourselves in our professional, friendly service.
Our dive sites offer many exciting opportunities for spear fishing! Game fish such as cobia, grouper and snapper can be found on our sites year round!
Grouper can be found on our offshore sites in abundance, and our dive site at Angel`s Ledge is especially known for it`s high yields of grouper, and it is one of our favorite specialty trips. Also, we also offer a fine selection of AB Biller guns and spear fishing accessories in our dive shop. If you are a novice, be sure to ask about our spear fishing specialty class.

US belt buckles, buttons, bottles and fossils have been found on this site,- a South Carolina shipwreck popular with divers of all skill levels. (1/2 day trip. $68)

This artificial reef consists of a 140 foot barge, adorned with concrete piping and steel A-Frames for divers to swim through, and a dive platform for training, all nestled comfortably close to a platoon of armored personnel carriers! With a maximum depth of 63 feet, another great dive site for divers of all skill levels. Spadefish and Barracuda abound, and you never know what kind of marine life you may see. (1/2 day trip. $68)
The ``Governor``:
This South Carolina shipwreck is a 200 foot Civil War paddle wheeler lies in 80 feet of water 22 miles off the coast. While it`s true identity remains elusive, the site offers everything from brass artifacts to Southern stingrays and a multitude of other marine life. (3/4 day trip. $85)
The Bill Perry:
Part of the South Carolina Artificial Reef Program, this is a dual site consisting of a tug-boat and a military landing craft. The site attracts a variety of fish, including grouper, snapper, and queen angels. Curious sea turtles are also known to make an occasional appearance. (3/4 day trip. $85)
Angel`s Ledge:
This site is a live-bottom reef ranging in depth from 40 feet to 110 feet. Known for the beautiful queen angels it attracts, it is also popular for spear fishing because of the abundance of grouper. (3/4 day trip. $85)
The Hebe and St. Cathan:
Also known as the Twin Cities Wreck, the Hebe, a Dutch merchant vessel, and the British sub chaser St. Cathan collided during blackout conditions in 1942. Now two of South Carolina`s most popular shipwrecks for advanced divers, they now rest 1/4 mile apart in 90-110 feet of water. This site is known for artifacts, tropical and game fish, as well as Sand Tiger sharks in the spring and fall. (Full day trip. $105)
The Raritan:
This 251 foot steel freighter ran aground on Frying Pan Shoals in February 1942. Broken in two pieces in 90 feet of water, the bow and stern remain intact with lush coral growth and abundant tropical marine life. For experienced divers. (Full day trip. $100)
The City of Houston:
After leaving New York with a cargo of Christmas goods, this 290 foot passenger/freighter encountered a fierce storm and sank in 90 feet of water, 55 miles off the South Carolina coast.
