I will be in Nags Head May 25-28 with my wife a non diver so I would like to find some shore dives or close boat dives so she doesn't spend the whole day alone any suggestions.
May 26-27 dives

I can't help with the shore dives, but there are some spots & an operation that will give you a guided tour, can't remember their name right off.
But as far as boat dives call Bill at Outer Banks Dive Center, Nags Head, North Carolina or just check his site for charter info.

there are 2 great beach dives you can swim off the beach to. One is called the triangle wrecks. its actually 2 big boats (about 290 some feet) parallel to each other. it has a buoy marking the front of one of the wrecks. they are partially intact. and a good dive. the dive is located off of the 2nd street beach access. walk out on the beach and look slightly to the right for a small buoy. its out there. I haven't been out there yet this year but last year it was almost completely exposed. that dive is probably bout 20 feet to the sand max.
and the Huron is a Must dive.
