Welcome Mellanie! I lived in Newport for three years and it is a beautiful place, I just hated the winters. I remember seeing divers around one of the coves near the fort in Newport. It has been two years so my memory of the area is mush. Sees like you can get some shore dives around there. Good luck and happy diving!

Have you checked our New divers forum and your local club forum here? I'm on Utila Island Honduras this week, enjoying a great dive trip, but wanted to log on long enough to welcome new members. Glad you're with us here...
