Hello Jodyroscoe!
Welcome to the club, I'm also up here around the Tacoma area.
Let us know when your in the area!
Pretty soon Oregon will have its own chapter / section of nwdiveclub.com
Called "Solo diving no more, because we got Buddies now!"

Just a little ongoing thing about Oregon solo divers :smt064
I hope no one is offended.

I live in Portland but do all my diving up north. Have yet to do an Oregon coast dive. If you don't mind the 2-3 hour commute, the diving in Hood Canal/Seattle is great and sites plentiful. I go up about once a week or at least every other week. I'm always willing to carpool (I have a great dive van) and can dive any day of the week as long as I'm not working (and sometimes when I am). My schedule varies a lot so I dive whenever I can. Let me know if you'd be interested in riding up with me and having me show you around a dive site or two.
Welcome!

Hi Jody, Welcome to our Nut and Fruit bowl. Great bunch of fun divers. There are some good dives here in the Portland area. But mostly all I can say about them is that you get wet. Most of us do the drive up north when we want to dive. Let me know if you want to get wet.

Jody :
Welcome to our Little POD
Most of the diving is done up in the Seattle ? Hood Canal Area

But if youhave your heart set on diving the oregon Coast I do know of a few sites along the coast

in the Tillamoohk area I live out in the Astoria area on the coast and dive them a lot some times Solo Hence bassmans Joke

You ever fell the need to get wet and dont want to go to Seattle let me know we can dive one of the Oregon sites but as with all oregon sites I know of the tides and curents are a big factor

but there is a few out here worth checking out

welcome to our group your going to find a lot of good divers here

There is also Clearlake up by Mt Hood and Waldo lake by Bend (Both altitude dives) Some people also dive in the Clackamas and Detroit river but I dont where and when. Welcome from Brownsmead OR (near Astoria)
