Newport News Middle Ground - North Carolina

The Newport News Middle Ground offers a straightforward dive on a rocky ledge. You'll find a good variety of temperate fish species, crabs, and often some decent-sized lobsters tucked into the crevices. It’s a solid site for divers looking for a relaxing profile and a chance to explore typical North Carolina coastal reef life without strong currents. Good for macro photography too.
