We arrived at the dock at 11pm, got our gear on board, met JT and one of the passengers still awake, made up our bunk and were in bed by midnight. About 3am Bob had to get up to go to the bathroom and didn't want to run the risk of clogging the marine head on board so he went out in search of a "real potty" I'll let him post about that experience. By about 6am all those on the boat were beginning to stir, we grabbed some breakfast did paperwork and were off headed for the Dixie Arrow.
Bob and I were the only ones planning on doing deco and were the first to splash. During the brief about 6 different times JT asked if we had reels and lift bags and if we were prepared to tie into the wreck to do an assent if necessary. I hop in before Bob and drop to the line at 15 feet to wait for him to get set with his camera and was greeted by a nice Sandie
As we've been seeing lately we were in nice blue water until we got to about 20 feet off the water, then the vis dropped to about 20 feet. It was nice to make a dive in NC without ANY lionfish. Taking their place we saw TONS of oyster toadfish, 
we also saw a gorgeous regal sea goddess that Bob got a nice pic of.
Part way through the dive Bob points out a sandie to me, and heads off after it to get a "good pic" I turned slightly to my left and found another one swimming right for me,
I tried to get Bob's attention to take the pic of the one next to me with no luck. Just as that shark swam away from me Bob signaled me to come see me to come over to him on a piece of the wreck which reached out of the murk when I got their he pointed up and there was at least 12 big sandies swimming in formation over our heads-AMAZING.
As our time ran out we headed back to the anchor, only it wasn't where we thought, we looked around briefly to little avail partly due to a swarm of bait fish that had reduced the vis on the wreck to about 2 feet, when I remembered all of the questions about if we were prepared to ascend if we needed too, and signaled to Bob lets just shoot a bag. Lesson learned on the first attempt about friction and the durability of nylon. 2nd attept went much better. Once we got above the bait fish and the muck we saw the line about 20 feet away from us
Finished our deco and hopped back on board. The boat did a nice slow trawl to the next site the Keshina, since we had eaten into our contingency on the first dive we only had about 20 minutes of bottom time for this wreck. The wreck is a small one so that was all we needed to see most of the wreck. Again tons of Oyster Toadfish on the wreck. Other divers saw some large rays and cobias and one of the guys who was spearing even shot a nice size Cobia.
Bob and I did an extra long hang at 20 feet just to check out the life such as a remora and a couple of good size Barracudas.
Bottom line the Under Pressure is a great boat, allowing divers to save having to get a hotel that that hardly use is also a HUGE plus, JT is a knowledgeable captain and diver and the crew were quite helpful. We're planning on diving with him another weekend this summer.
The trip home was also enjoyable we managed to hit the Hatteras light house and even were able to climb to the top and made a stop off at Bodie Island lighthouse to get some pictures.
