Dive to a shipwreck without taking all day. We offer
beach dives 6 days a week to shallow dives located just off the beach
in Kill
Devil Hills and Nags Head. Dives typically take just 2 hours from the time
you meet us until you get your gear stowed. These
shallow dives are no
more than 30 feet in depth. This makes it perfect for rusty divers, new
divers, or those who just don't want to spend
all day on a boat. All beach
dives are guided by an instructor who explains about the history of the wreck,
what you need to know about
beach dives and wreck diving and leads you to the
wreck and back when we're done. Here are our most popular beach dives.

November 24, 1877, 200 yards offshore @20 feet of water.

1927. Ran into the Kyzickes and broke in two. Mile post 7, 2nd street
parking area, Kill Devil Hills, @150 yards offshore @20 feet of water. This
is our most popular dive.

Beach dives, while shallower than
boat dives are more physically demanding. All beach dives require swimming on
the surface, through the surf and out @100 -200 yards.. You need to feel
comfortable in the ocean, be in good physical shape and be a good swimmer. We
also recommend having dive insurance from agencies such as
DAN.
