New Diver in Corpus Christi

[Gr8WyattWhale]

Hey everyone,
New diver here! Anyone know some good places to dive near Corpus Christi Texas?
I've heard of the Port Aransas Jetties, and Port Mansfield (not sure where in Port Mansfield).
I just heard of possibly a spot in Rockport TX. Anyone been diving near Rockport?

Not sure if I posted this in the correct area. I was trying to post to the Texas forum

Go offshore from port A and dive the rigs and some of the wrecks. Since you say you are a new diver I would start with rig dives, you will be able to choose your depth and still be on structure. If you're wanting to practice from some from shore you could also look at the Packery Jetty just south of Corpus. Port Mansfield is probably 50 miles south of Corpus. You can also check with American Divers on South Padre to dive the Texas Clipper.

Thanks for the info! Right now I'm just looking for dives from shore because I don't have a boat and don't want to spend the money to charter one.
I am joining a rig dive out of CC mid April though and I can't wait!

How did it go?
I also recently got certified. I was curious about the rig dives.

I'll be staying in Rockport this winter if anyone is interested in some local dives.
