This jetty is the northwestern tip of Oregon. The Columbia River pumps out its mighty volume into the Pacific Ocean here.
Looking south in the general direction of the wreck of the Peter Iredale.
This would be some rough country to SCUBA dive in but in favorable sea conditions, we think it’s possible.
On Saturday we went diving at the 2nd and 3rd fingers on the south jetty in Newport. The visibility was at least 10 feet, the nudibranchs were out, and the swell wasn’t too bad.
My mom took this picture between our first and second dives. Note that I use Vaseline in my mustache to keep a good mask seal at depth. With a proper application of Vaseline, I get no leaks!
