Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Lumber Dock
Located in the commercial fishing area of Garibaldi, the Lumber Dock is a great place for finding crabs. Generally the area is protected from boaters, but a dive flag is recommended. An interesting note: there is no law in Oregon that says a boat must stay away from a dive flag. This is a very dangerous situation. Stop by Doug's Diving (in the background of the second entrance photo below) and sign their petition for a minimum safe boating distance to divers.
From Portland, take Highway 26 West to Highway 6 West into Tillamook on the coast. Drive North 9.9 miles into the Heart of Garibaldi, and turn left onto 7th Street as shown below.

Just did a dive here. Current swing was big and moving (coming in). Vis. on top was about 4-5ft. Down below that, it was about 1-2ft. Saw very little plant life or animal life. A few crabs, but all small; a lot of clams. Never went beyond the pilings. Max Depth 14'. Mud bottom. A place to go when the jetty is un-dividable.
