May 2026 North Carolina Wreck & Megalodon Shark Tooth Trip

Ever wanted to drop onto a fossil ledge, kick once, look down… and see a piece of prehistoric murder staring back at you?

Yeah. That kind of dive.

In May 2026, Dive With Frank is heading back offshore out of Wilmington, North Carolina for two days of wreck diving and Megalodon shark tooth hunting. This is real Atlantic diving — deep ledges, big steel, moving water, and the kind of finds you don’t shut up about for years.

No amusement park. No fake adventure. Just earned teeth and honest dives.

The Plan

We’re diving with Aquatic Safaris, Inc., one of the most experienced offshore charter operations in the area. Expect early mornings, good briefings, and a full boat of divers who know why they’re there.

Saturday – May 16, 2026

Megalodon Tooth Ledge
Deep fossil ledge diving in the 90–105 ft range, focused on Megalodon and other prehistoric shark teeth. This is methodical, heads-down diving that rewards patience, buoyancy, and good situational awareness.

Sunday – May 17, 2026

Sue’s Ledge / Hyde Wreck
We’ll combine fossil hunting with a classic Wilmington-area wreck dive on the Hyde, an upright hopper dredge that’s easy to navigate and absolutely loaded with life. Summer months often bring sand tiger sharks, turtles, barracuda, and more.

As always, final sites are weather and conditions dependent — but this is the plan.

Who This Trip Is For

This trip is built for divers who:

• Are Advanced Open Water certified
• Are Nitrox certified
• Are comfortable approaching 100 ft
• Like dives with purpose, not sightseeing loops
• Want stories and souvenirs

If that description makes you smile instead of sweat, you’re in the right place.

Required Certifications & Gear

These are non-negotiable dives. You’ll need:

• Advanced Open Water (or equivalent)
• Enriched Air Nitrox
• Dive computer
• SMB / safety sausage

• Cutting tool
• Mesh goodie bag (you’ll thank me later)

If you’re missing something, reach out early. We can fix most of it — but not at the dock.

• Megalodon Tooth Fossil Diver

Academics are handled ahead of time via eLearning, and the hands-on portion happens exactly where it should — on real offshore dives. If you want to add a class, email me directly at
