Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Yaquina John Point
Located in Waldport, this site has the best crabbing in the area! It's a little tricky to work with the tides, but ensure you are only diving during low slack. The channel is narrow and deep, and the current can be swift.
Found on the coast between Newport and Florence, the site is found on the South side of the inlet channel to Alsea Bay. See below for more directions.

Dove this site strictly for gathering crab and pulled 15 legal sized crab on a 22 min dive. Good diving when you have to toss 3 crab back. Dove slack tide on a day with minimal exchange so currents were not bad but I did notice the current increasing at the end of 20 minutes. I wouldn't dive this site if tide exchanges are moderate to high.
