Images of the awesome ocean life of Newport Beach, California that I have explored below the surface.

Corona Del Mar ~ Beautiful beach area with Newport Harbor to the north and towering cliffs to the south. Popular with summer beach goers and overlooked for snorkeling and diving. Majority of ocean life found in rocky areas.

Inner Wedge Jetty ~ Famous jetty on the north side of the Newport Harbor entrance known for huge waves. However, this jetty also has lots of thriving ocean life, especially on the inner harbor side. This is one of my favorite places to explore because of the diverse ocean life and many different underwater environements from huge rocks on the jetty, kelp along the jetty to sea grass in the harbor.
