I think Roanoke Island outfitters in Manteo is the only dive shop in Dare county. I believe they run a six pack during the dive season. They also do guided shore dives.

Dive Charters - Roanoke Island Outfitters and Dive Center

The Triangle wrecks is probably the most popular shore dive location, but there are others. It's around mile post 2 if I recall correctly. Sometimes it's marked. Sometimes it's not. I did that dive with Pam Landrum a few years back from Roanoke Island Outfitters. I'd do it again. I think we had about 45 min of bottom time. It's shallow. I think about 15-20 feet.

Lynnhaven Dive Center in Virginia Beach runs a boat. I don't know if it is running yet. I think that's past the 1.5 h mark from Duck though.

RIO in Manteo, under pressure charters (CAPT JT) and the lions paw in Hatteras Hatteras...those are the only games in town as far as offshore charters. Plenty of shore wreck dive opportunities.
