Aquatic Safaris SCUBA Center

Aquatic Safaris has been running charters out of Wrightsville Beach since 1988! All of our captains and crew members are experienced divers or instructors and will do everything possible to make sure you have a safe and fun experience.

Learn from the best. We have a 25 year record of being Wilmington’s best choice for learning to SCUBA dive. In 2008 we ranked 5th in certifications in the Southeastern region and 141st in the entire country. We are very proud that our customers want to learn how to SCUBA dive and continue to expand their diving knowledge with Aquatic Safaris.

Please call the dive shop during business hours to schedule a dive. Our courteous staff will answer any questions you may have about dive sites and create your dive booking with any needed rental gear. You will receive a confirmation email detailing your dive reservation.

All dives depart from the Bridge Tender Marina. Any rental gear is to be picked up and returned to the dive shop.
