Ugggghhhhhh....... Horrible visibility, and didnt manage to find anything but the usually inverts and a big shovelhead sculpin that ate the rest of the bait fish we caught :( But even though I didnt find any bobtail squid, or octopus, or pipefish, it was still totally worth it to finally get out in ...

Trying to get together a setup to go do some shallow water snorkeling along the Oregon coast. I have a 2 piece 7mm wetsuit and 7mm hood, borrowing a snorkel and mask ( could still use one of my own though) and I'd like to get some better gloves, boots, and fins. I was looking at purchasing one of th...

Well I'm slowly gathering up my gear, got my wetsuit and hood, borrowed a pair of goggles and a snorkel, and now I'm trying to find some fins and boots so I can go out and look do some shallow snorkeling monday night around Garibaldi. I'm having my kids playgroup come over to my house on Tuesday to ...

I literally was going to post up a thread before I saw this about "what kind of mask and fins" to get. Maybe someone has some stuff laying around? I just bought a 7mm 2 piece wetsuit from another forum member (Biederboat) and I've been looking at masks, snorkels, fins, gloves, boots, all t...

Shot you a PM, I'm just outside of Clackamas. Hoping to meet up and try on the XXL.

Seems like nobody makes a 2 piece wetsuit in size large tall, if you happen to have one you'll part with or or know of a retailer that sells this size in a 2 piece please let me know :D Looking for one of the "Farmer John" style suits so I can use it tidepooling as well as snorkeling in so...

A tall lanky guy like you probably won't fit a stock sized suit. I would looks to see which manufacturers offer "tall" sizes and see if you can order one to try on. Pinnacle, for example: http://www.pinnacleaquatics.com/male-sizing/ Thanks for the link :D I had a feeling that a used suit ...

Thanks for the tips on what to look for in the fit :D I figured since I was going to be in the area today picking up my grandmother in law at the airport I might as well go check it out and try it on. I found the Oceanic sizing chart and it says a size Large will fit a weight of 175 - 190 lbs, and a...

So I'm 6'4" and 185lbs and I'm looking for a 7mm farmer john 2 piece wetsuit. I think this will be the most versitile for what I will be doing. (tidepooling, snorkeling, free diving, scuba diving) I'm going to look at a slightly used Oceanic 2 piece later today that is a size large. Current own...

Thanks guys

Can anyone recommend any areas to go shallow water snorkeling? I'll have a 7mm wetsuit, fins, mask and a snorkel soon enough but wont have the rest of the gear or the time/experience to full on dive. I'm thinking of hitting the following areas: Garibaldi - Closer to shore near the long pier. Been ou...

Totally random thought, but it may a while before I can buck up and pay for dive classes and gear. What places along the coast would you all suggest as shallow snorkeling worthy areas to look for these critters?\ I'm picking up my wetsuit, fins, mask and snorkel for xmas ( gift to myself/ 1st busine...

Whoops, sorry for the long lag in reply time, I'll try to answer all of your questions here :D You should do an intruductory post that says a little bit about yourself. People will be more likely to respond to your posts. Right now it seems, from your posts, that you may be someone looking for live ...

Thanks for all the input and suggestions :D One of the spots I was anticipating seeing them at was right about where you all suggested. The stretch between Netarts bay up to Barview jetty in Tillamook. I was planning on exploring the area around Three Arch Rocks and Cape Meares. I figured between th...

If not, is there anyone here interested in getting a commercial fishing license? I would willing to purchase live caught fish from you and you would easily make back the cost of your commercial license ($82)

Please contact for further info

Trying to track down someone who dives and is also a commercial fisherman so that they can bring me up some stuff. I am in Damascus, but I make regular trips to the coast, so where ever it is that you plan to dive I can meet you at your location. If there is anyone here in Oregon that does this, ple...

Hi there, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. My name is Stu, and I'm a complete newb to diving. Done lots of tide pooling, a little snorkeling and free diving, but never taken the plunge to get dive certified. Hoping to do so in the next 6 months to a year at most. I thought this might be...
