Dive-site story
Situated along the western shore of Hood Canal, this resort-access shore dive leads down an uneven slope dotted with scattered debris, tire reefs, and old boat hulls. Divers descend past dock pilings encrusted with invertebrate life onto a silt and cobble bottom. The protected fjord setting provides reliable diving conditions throughout much of the year, though cold-water exposure gear and good buoyancy control are essential.
Extensive colonies of white-plumed anemones coating submerged structure
Sheltered rocky crevices and artificial reefs home to giant Pacific octopuses
Piling structures offering macro photography opportunities right near the entry point
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Late autumn and winter offer the clearest water due to reduced runoff and absent plankton blooms.
