This is a very stable boat with plenty of room for groups up to 16 divers to take advantage of. We are offering a four hour 2 tank dive on Jocassee for $30, including tanks or fills for your tanks.

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.
