Dive-site story
Set along the western shores of Hood Canal, this popular cold-water dive site provides straightforward shore access to a sloping fjord wall. Submerged platforms, sunken small craft, and artificial tire reefs offer anchor points for encrusting invertebrates and shelter for resident bottom-dwellers. Divers descend across gravel shallows before dropping onto rocky ledges covered in plumose anemones.

Seasonality
