Outer Banks Diving in Hatteras, Dare County, United States | Diving

Captain John "Johnny" Pieno is a licensed Master Captain, NAUI divemaster, commercial diver, and experienced treasure hunter - as well as being an avid (and successful) spear and sport fisherman. He is well aquainted with diving, and the needs of divers. Before moving to N.C, Johnny was partner in a Virginia Beach dive shop, and a commercial diver active with a special interest in working with wreck salvage operations. He has a developed knack as an artifact hunter and readily offers tips to beginning "diggers." He has operated sport diving charter boats from Virginia Beach to St. Thomas, USVI.

His year-round home, in the village of Hatteras, is filled with wreck diving artifacts - a collection which, though somewhat less organized, will easily rival that of the Graveyard of the Atlantic Museum, which recently opened in Hatteras Village. Johnny's comprehensive knowledge of the maritime history and lore surrounding the "Graveyard of the Atlantic" will round out your dive experience.
