Re: Divers search for WWII Japanese sub off of OR
I did a dive out of Garibaldi a couple years ago looking for this based on a sonar survey unfortunately it turned out to be a large rock formation. The naval reports for this incident actually cover a couple of days of depth charging the area. Makes for some interesting reading though , it would be ...

We stopped and just watched them for 15-20 minutes before our dive. Proceeded over to the West Wall for our dive. Found the vis to be about 15 ft , ...

Re: Good wall dives?
For critters at Dalco work the top edge of the wall more to the west in 45-50ft. You can still swim out to the north and look over the edge into the abyss.

The better sections of the old bridge debris that we have dove on so far have been in 130-160ft on the west side of the Narrows with some smaller sections as shallow as 110ft on a lower tide. The east side of the channel has some old road deck that was just cut away after the bridge fell as shallow ...
