Kill Devil Hills Diving

[Can't swim]

I'm going to Kill Devil Hills, N.C. Sept. 18, 2010 thru the 23rd.
I am hoping to get in some shore diving.
Does anyone have any personal experience with any of the local dive centers?
I'm not looking for boat dives or deep dives, I just wanna get in some good diving.
Thank you

There are a couple dives off the beach in Nags Head, however, current and viz vary greatly from day to day. It ain't the Keys or the Caribbean, however it is diving...

NC Beach Diving


HURON- a 541 ton federal gunship steamer with sail. Went down with 98 crewmen on November 24, 1877, 150 yards offshore @20 feet of water.

EXPLORER - Tugboat. Lost on December 12, 1919. Milepost 11, just 100 yards north of Huron. 150 yards offshore, @20 feet of water.

I tried shore diving there...once. I drove down from Virginia with a few other divers. After fighting the surf for 30 minutes I was the only one to get out past the breakers. As long as you catch it at the right time you may be OK. We obviously caught it on the wrong day.

An outfit I think is worth checking out is Nag's Head Diving.
The Outdoors Inn Bed
I stayed at their B&B this spring, and they were incredibly nice. Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate for the diving, so I can't actually speak to the dives they do, but they seemed like a very well run outfit, the rates seemed very reasonable and, as I said, they were super nice.

Hope you get some good dives in!

You can find more detailed info about the shore diving in the Nags Head area here

Good luck on the shore diving, it has been reported to be very good at many of the sites this season.

Had a pretty good experience with Outer Banks Dive Center in Nags head... good folk, accommodating.

Hit up the Triangle Wrecks off of 2nd St. in KDH. It usually has a buoy on it to swim to.

Well everyone, I thank each of you for your input!
The bad news is: I won't be off to go now.
I have to work the 11-7 night shift and that messes up the whole thing.

Thank you again

I hate work, it gets in the way of so much good stuff!!!!!!!
