Looking for good places to go crab and clam diving on the OR coast. Prefer in a bay or protected waters right now. How about Tillmook bay or Netarts? or ?? Any body have some god directions or GPS readings? I have a boat so can go after them. Thanks stan..

It appears that the Avons are the boats to have for open ocean diving. Would you feel comfortable taking you're boat out in winter? It seems that summer would be the time to go.

I also have came down from tillmook bay and was towed back by the coast guard on that trip when the starter went out...

its a 5.4m avon rib but it only has a 35 hp merc on it for now . . . I am hoping for around 20 mph with 4 people and gear . . . Slight hijack: I have a 5.4m Avon Adventure with a 115 Yamaha, it will do close to 50 with three people and a full load of gas, tops out at about 35 or 40 mph with three d...

hmmmm int that what boats are for?????

I am interested in doing some of these sites when I get all my shiat together and get my boat finished. Its just about there, its a 5.4m avon rib but it only has a 35 hp merc on it for now. With two people in it and no dive gear it will do 25, took it out for a test run last sunday. I am hoping for ...

Here's a big ol' document (6.5 Mb) from the USCG that has a little blurb about alpha flag and diver-down flag uses, but since I don't own a boat I didn't pay too much attention. sweet lots of info in there, here is what the lil blurb had to say DIVER'S FLAG RULE 27(e)(ii) of the Navigation Rules - ...

sweet thanks for all the replies, does it matter wich flag is on top, the dive flag or the alpha flag?? stan..

what dive flag do I need to run while diving in Oregon and Washington, also in Canada? I know that I need to have the dive flag, do I also need to have the Alpha flag? Thanks stan..

I want to see the chainsaw hooked up to surface supplied

and you say that like its a bad thing

how hasa the pinacle been lately, have not dove out there in years.. But I will be back out there after I get my shiat together

I went with the basic dive rite harness from liesure pro for $26 and went with the Hammer head stainless steel plate w/STA for $110 http://hammerheadbackplates.com/pricepoint.htm. I had the dive rite rec wing already. I could not tell you howit works though as I have not dove it yet .

Hey Jay glad that you had a good dive, its just never a good thing to come in on graveyard and to see the parking lot empty and the day shift electrician still there

stan

I would go out and buy the best equipment out there

so after diving it a while you will relieze that you do not like that gear, switch to different gear and place ur lightly used gear up for sale cheap


buy high$$$ sell low thats how I roll

daam def. have SS envey, I am looking at the 580, but that unit is way out of my range.
