Hey I am a free diver in Washington, with a heavy background of diving on Oahu. I have some footage of my diving on
http://vimeo.com/derekb
What is your background in freediving? location, training, spearfishing?
I have not heard a lot of things about Oregon diving, But there are two locations I want to check out.
Clear lake. Probably better off in spring or summer.

Sealion caves... Divers probably aren't welcome, but......
