Yep, I'm cousin Al! There are is a yahoo group called the bottomsounders. I've never spoken up in any of their online conversations but they often go to and talk about Neah Bay. They sound like a careful group the follow some rules, one being the one up one down rule. Last year a freediving spearo at Neah bay got tangled up in some kelp and died. He was with someone but the someone had little experience. This group seems to prefer going with trained freedivers but I don't think they are too picky. They definitely have experience and know the area.

Hey Al, I wasn't sure this was you, but I saw Clinton, so I assumed.

I have been looking around at sites and I want to try to get out to Neah Bay when I am out there this summer. Looks like you can shoot Ling during summer months and rockfish are open. Plus I hear it is a cool area to dive and it is accessible by kayak. If you get a chance, see if you can find anything out on your end, the NW board here is very quiet and there are not a lot of freedivers, mostly scuba, so it is hard to get good information. I have been perusing fisherman (anglers) boards and they are pretty active with talk about that area, so I will keep looking too.
