OBX...Is it worth it???

[ferg822]

I am not yet a certified diver but I am taking a vacation to Hatteras, Outer Banks in August. Right now my scudule is pretty packed and I have no time to get certified but a friend of mine and I are planning either spring or early summer. If OBX diving is worth it then I will jam the classes into my spring schudule so I can be ready for summer. I know there are lots and lots of shipwrecks (or so I've heard) but what else is there? Basically would it be worth it to pack in the course do dive OBX?
