My wife is a jellyfish magnet.... if they are around, she will get stung. A couple years ago we were diving at Sund Rock and she got hit by a LMJ tentacle. Nothing worked to alleviate the pain, until we went to dinner at a Mexican restaurant and she had a big margarita with salt on the rim. Not sure...

Sounds like they are venomous.

Very nice indeed! Congrats Blaiz!

Ahhh Bummer! Going backpacking this weekend. Next time. Or maybe I will find a wednesday and come dive Redondo with you again. Have fun! Clear Lake is amazing.

Hey Kelly,
I have no idea about your question.... but when are you coming to Oregon? Love to dive with you again.

Brian,
I just happen to be looking for something to do that weekend. Lets chat.

I like it Theresa. Now we just need to get a bunch of folks to send it in.

Has anyone done any diving from a beach in Oregon? Or is the surf too difficult to navigate? I have heard that there is a "trench" that runs about a few hundred yards off the beach on a line from the jetty to Yaquina Head and you can get down into it where you are protected from the surge....

We had two great dives at Les Davis last Tuesday. On the first dive we were "buzzed" by a sea lion several times. I was a ways from the group and he stopped within 3-4 ft of me and just hovered there for a few minutes. We stared at each other, then he lost interest and swam away. Of course...

AWESOME! Was it a sea lion or a harbor seal? There is a smaller harbor seal I've encountered at LD a couple of times, a real cutie. You should do a quick write-up in the "Dive Recap" area and post the wolfie pic. Haven't seen a wolfie at LD in a while--thought they had moved out. Well, yo...

Not to rub it in, but the second dive on Monday was awesome! We lost count of the stubby squids and saw 2 baby octos. Keep us posted if you get back up this way soon. How were your dives on Tuesday? Hmmmm.... missed out. I dont think that any of us had a fourth dive in us that night though... we we...

Welcome to the club Sonia. It was nice to meet you Monday night, and "sort of" dive with you. I look forward to doing it again some day.

Bummer Kelly! Sorry to hear this.

How was the second dive? I want to thank you again for you and the gang showing us the site. It was a fun and awesome dive. I will try to get up there again some time on a Wednesday night.

Thanks John!

Where is the closest place to Redondo to rent tanks and get air fills?

I have experience with some of the sites on the coast and would love to go diving with you sometime. There are also a few that I haven't tried yet because access wasn't easy enough for Fav dive buddy. I have primarily dived with my wife, aka fav dive buddy, but her schedule is even more hectic than ...

Holy Crap! Just looked those up on the Oceanic website..... the msrp is $2600 ea. Why is this guy selling two for $1200?

I have an 8 megapixel Cannon Powershot SD1100is Elph that I paid less than $200 for. It takes great pics above and below the water, and I got the housing for it for around $160. Its a great starter camera & housing that wont break the bank or your heart if it floods. If you already have a digita...

Salem Scuba is the BEST! I wouldn't even go to that "other" shop.... Been doing my dive business with them since I got certified 5 years ago. Blake will give you a great deal on everything, and Allen is one of the most knowledgable guys I know.

Welcome to NWDC! Which shop in Salem are you taking your class through? When you get done, hit me up and I can show you a couple sites that I like on the coast.

Not sure about November, but I dove all those places on a cruise in early December a couple years ago and the vis was great!

Welcome. I am looking for new buddies too. I live in the Salem area, and would be interested in trying the hunting thing.

Here is a site description that I found on another forum:

I dove the Newport fingers only once.... and then it was the wrong one. We dove on the closest finger and it was way shallow... only about 4 ft deep until you got about 100 yds off shore then it dropped. One buddy pair wasn't paying attention and ended up in the middle of the channel. We didn't try ...
