Hello Back Spatman and Dusty 2

I started diving about 20 years ago. I was certified to dive on the Northern California coastline. Mainly shore diving around the Fort Ross area, just north of San Francisco. I would love to just look around or chase a crab for some dinner...

I usually can dive on the weekends, sometimes on Fridays.


Hope to get in the water soon,

feel free to post to the Oregon forum when you want someone to show you the coast, and then to the DIve Planning forum for trips up to the Sound. i'm sure it won't take you long to find folks to dive with!

Hi Helga,

Welcome! Always nice to have another Oregonian on the board. I live and dive on the coast. I'm available some Fridays and most Saturdays.

Hi Divers

Sorry about being tardy on the reply and thank you for the warm welcome.....

Guess what....??? I got my first Oregon coast dive in!!!!!

I met up with one of the board members after seeing his post on the board this morning.
For some reason my throat started acting up and ugggg, well, .... I couldn't go to work today.
I googled the "Barview Jetty" for driving directions and threw the dive gear into my truck and met up with AB219 at the Jetty.



Wow....vis. was great, at least 15 feet of vis on the bottom at 60 feet. Lots of crabs and fish were everywhere!!!
Thanks AB219 for the tour....

And again thank you all for the welcome aboard.

Welcome to out "Nut and Fruit Bowl" Helga. A lot of Nut's and a few Fruit's. Nice to see another Oregon diver on the board. "Cough, Cough" I feel a cold coming on. Maybe salt water will help.

Oh no!!! You went diving with Gary??!! Please be careful, you may become part of one of his stories
seriously though, Gary is a great dive buddy I'm glad you had fun!

Gary was very suprised to see someone show up for scuba diving at that Jetty. He said he hadn't seen anonther diver there in 4 months!!! Guess, that's why he dives it on a Friday. It was a fun dive chasing them crabs, can't wait to jump in there again. Now what is this talk about stories!!!??
