    Best NL dive sites

    Check the Atlantic and/or Newfoundland Divers Guides lots of great dive locations listed... See John at OceanQuest in CBS they have copies out there. Marine Lab in Logy Bay and Quidi Vidi are probably the best I've seen but both have difficult entry/exit points. Safe Dives
