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.

This is a top spot for valley divers, and a great spot for spear fishing. My sister had her checkout dive here (2-3 finger). I once dove two dives at the fifth and sunken jetty, and did a third drift dive out with no gun and saw two huge lings and rock fish. Sand will shallow up to about 10' (from 30-20) that's when it's time to get out.
