Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Fingers

Fingers is probably the best known dive in the Newport area. The jetty area provides some great hiding places for the smaller marine life, and the fingers outstretching perpendicular from the main jetty can protect you a bit from the current. It is recommended that you dive one of the first three fingers you come to, as the fourth and fifth are subject to stronger current. Since this is the main channel out of Newport Bay, dive only at slack tide, and be careful of the boat traffic. Take the nearest exit from the South side of the Newport Bridge. Head down hill toward the water, and turn left on SW 26th Street, which then takes you to SE Jetty Way and the park.

We read the review from this site and have never dove sites from this site, I didn't know how the scale met with my own approval. Weather conditions where great, blue skies, pelicans flying all around. We went in about 15 min before predicted slack and we had only slight current. Entry was tricky as is any jetty entry. The Vis. was maybe 4' and saw only some fish life. Small Black Rock fish, a couple of sculpins, some crab, and a oct. deep in a hole. My overall rating of this dive site is ... Save your air, it is not worth you time and trouble.
