The vision at the dive sight should be anywher from 15 to 20 feet, depth is about 35 to 40 ft, the tide will be switching at about 11 so we want to be in the water by 10 o'clock. The dive is beautiful. The address to the fishery is 27550 Hwy 101 N. Rockaway beach, Or.

This may be a stupid question but, does the Fishery know that there will be divers coming to plung off there docks? The reason I ask is cause I have inquired about diving there before and an infatic "NO" was the answer. There main customers are fishermen that do not like divers. I am guessing that you have got there blessing on this?
I would love to do a little clean-up and get a chance to show others that divers are the coolest people on the planet! :mrcool:

I have never dove the Nehalem but if it is like Barview the vis will be dependant on the rainfall that has dropped in the days before, and the tidel exchange.
I hope I can make it. I and a buddy have been talking of checking it out for a couple of years. We just don't feel like packing the gear up over the sand and jetty for it. From the docks would be to cool!

Jessica and I, have both checked with Kelly at the fishery, before we planned the event and he agreed to let us use the fishery for our cleanup. We hope to see you there.

...we get to keep all the gold doubloons we find, right?
