fall river divers

[mutiny5754]

hey everyone, My name is Mike and I am knew too this forum. I am from NJ and will be up in fall river MA aug 22-24. Was interested in getting 1 decent dive in on monday. Any opinions or recommendations on spots or dive shops around fall river. I'll be goin scuba and goin on my 8th dive lookin for 30-40ft max. I am only at padi OW and my last dive was november 09 in key largo.

somebody mentioned just going to newport. How far away is that from fall river. IM just looking to get on a boat sometime monday for a quick 30-40ft swim and log another dive.

thanks

That person may be correct. Looks like Ft Wetherhill would be good if you don't mind a little drive and a shore dive. There are definitely more people local to that area that would have better info than me though. hope this helps.
