Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Fort Wetherill

Fort Wetherill is a scuba location with two dive sites. The left and right cove. The left cove has a small goat path down to the water. The right cove has a boat ramp entry, can get busy so yield to boats. Both coves have okay viz. (3-10 feet) and have pretty good life. Averages 5 feet but classes frequently drop the viz to less than 5, still plenty of room though to get away from groups. Flounder, fish, starfish, crabs, lobster, eel grass. I believe the left cove along the right wall is the best of the two. Porta potties. Easy and plentiful parking. Route 138 east over the Jamestown Bridge, exit just before the toll booths, straight on Narragansett, bear left at the fork, follow signs to the park. Plenty of parking close to the entries.

It is New England, it is gratis (Free) and it is very good. The water is clean the area beautiful and the residents around are very friendly. A good shore dive if you can get out to the Caribbean I tell you this, it beats Dutch Springs.
