Thanks to Sparky, a friend and I stopped in at Garibaldi Scuba about 1 month ago. Dick was very friendly and we bought a few items. But I must say the supply of current items seemed to be small. We hope Dick or someone else keeps a shop open in the Tillamook area.

This is cool. We need to get a coast dive together. I'd be up to try Tillamook Bay on either the weekend of 9/13 or the weekend of 9/20. Would anyone with some OR coast experience like to go? The tides look better on 9/20-21.

I'd be down with either of those weekends too. I would just be happy to dive Tillamook. Hey Spatman. You still going up to the sound on the 13th? Cause I'd be up for that too. And, back to a previous note, Oregon definately has the best beer. We got Deschutes, Rogue, Widmer, Bridgeport etc. And Portland traffic is nothin compared to the crap up in Seattle. So, maybe the diving isn't quite as good but.....eh, what the hell. Oregon rules!

I've got a truck with room for one more or would be willing to carpool up. I would be interested in diving Alki Pipeline on the west side of Alki point. :occasion5:

Deshutes has been my favorite for awhile. Ya just can't beat Black Butte Porter.
i can appreciate that. Alki is a haul from here. dave, would you be staying overnight if you came up? there's a small chance i may stay the weekend as well. i'll know within a few days.
If it looks like peeps want Alki, or are staying up there for the weekend, I might pass on that weekend and just get a few more dive in October. No worries, so plan for the group instead of me and if it works out that i can make it...great.
My backplate STILL didn't show up last night. grrrr....

I'd be perfectly happy with Hood Canal. I still have never been to the wall at Octopus Hole. I would probably just go up for Saturday. Got to get as much use out of the nice weather around the house as I can. If anyone wants to carpool up for just Saturday that would be great.
For those of you who don't know where to get air in Oregon, here is the list. And make a note of it for those of you with short term memmory.
You can get air in :
South Beach SCUBA in Newport: http://southbeachscuba.shopping.officel ... fault.aspx
Florence- Central Coast Water Sports-541-997-1812
Eugene= Eugene Skin Diver's Supply-541-342-2351
North Bend (coos Bay)-Sunset Sports-541-756-3483
Astoria SCUBA: http://www.astoriascuba.com/
That should help Oregon coast divers as far as air fills.
Good diving

Want to go dive in Oregon. I can help. Biginner or experienced it doesn't matter.
want to do some underwater photography I will help if I can. I'm a dive Junky. Cold or hot.
I spear fish, night dive, deep dive. I do it all. Contact me. http://flickr.com/photos/8680102@N04/
due to liability, fire stations will not fill scuba tanks any more. But you can try if you want. A lot of politics if you catch my drift. Fire stations don't mind doing it, it's the superiors up above that make the call.

Yeah confirmed - this forum is pimp. Especially with all the people from OR. Glad to have a corner on here for us. I have heard less than stellar reviews from divers up north about conditions and sites down here. But I need someplace closer than the Sound. Really wanting to try Tillamook Bay and Clear lake after seeing pics and reading reviews. Let me know if there is an upcoming trip everyone. I have my Advanced OW cert.
