Off
The Wall Dive Charters INC. is an Upstate-South Carolina based scuba dive charter company. We offer
dive trips on Lake
Jocassee, Lake
Keowee, the Cooper
River, Charleston SC fossil diving .
We train all levels of diving from Open Water to Deep Tech and support advanced
decompression diving, as our lakes and waterways offer a variety of diving
opportunities. We also offer underwater video services to record your diving
experience when you dive with us.
The main vessel
for our dive services is a, 32 foot long, custom pontoon dive boat with a
100 hp four stroke engine. There is 22 feet of covered passenger benches with
tank racks to accommodate tanks. Our signature dive ladder is one of a kind. It
is a custom built ladder on a gradual 30-degree incline to allow for easy
entry and exits even with large double cylinders on your back. At the bottom of the ladder is a large
platform that easily allows divers to adjust their gear comfortably before or
after a dive. The boat also offers a 100-quart ice chest to accommodate those
ever so crucial after dive snacks you might decide to bring along. There is a large
ice water cooler as well.
Safety of our
divers is a major concern, so we not only have a DAN oxygen unit on board, but
several extra oxygen cylinders as well. Our captain, as well
as any Divemasters on board, are DAN oxygen
providers and PADI medic first aid certified. We also suspend a 10-foot long
decompression/safety stop bar overboard at a depth of 20 feet for added safety
and comfort. The boat is also equipped with an underwater diver recall device
for communicating to the divers underwater by tone or voice.
