Seaside Vacations

Time Magazine has named the Outer Banks in their list of 50 Authentic American Experiences.   

The Outer Banks is known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic due to the large amount of shipwrecks off the coast.  Time Magazine recognized the unique experience of diving off the Outer Banks as an “Authentic American Experience.”  The graveyard of the Atlantic has claimed many ships throughout the years, wooden vessels from two hundred years ago and even a German U-boat from WWII. 

Many of these wrecks require some form of dive certification, but some are open to everyone.  Two spots that might be of interests to plan one of these diving adventures would be The Outer Banks Dive Center or Nags Head Diving.  Dives from $75, including gear.
