The southern Outer Banks has countless treasures that are buried in the outlying deep blue waters, and scuba divers can experience what the Graveyard of the Atlantic is all about with a trip that is hosted by Dive Hatteras. Offering custom diving charters for small parties on a large and spacious boat, Dive Hatteras is a favorite resource for a shipwreck diving adventure off the coast of Hatteras Island.

The offshore area close to Hatteras Island provides a unique environment for scuba divers. Home to hundreds of shipwrecks and unique sites, Hatteras Island jets out into the Atlantic Ocean further than any other vacation destination along the eastern coastline. As a result, divers will be close to a wide array of unique sites including countless shipwrecks that are buried just below the surface. In addition to exploring the shipwrecks which can date from the Civil War to World War II, divers can also embark on spearfishing trips, Hatteras explorations, and a myriad of other unique trips that all take place just below the surface. With an experienced dive guide at the helm who knows the best destinations, Dive Hatteras is a fine choice for a wholly unique adventure that launches from this barrier island destination.

Ocracoke Island Lighthouse

Ocracoke Island Lighthouse

The Ocracoke Island Lighthouse may not be the most imposing of the Outer Banks lighthouses, but as North Carolina's oldest lighthouse in operation, (and the second oldest in the United States), it is certainly one of the most beloved. At just 65' ft. tall, it is by far the smallest lighthouse on the Outer Banks, but it still towers over the 4 square miles of Ocracoke Village, and its beacon can be spotted up to 14 miles into the Pamlico Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
