Great site for new and experienced divers. Ample parking, concessions and restrooms on site. Artificial reefs with a variety of life for photographers. Beach entry via new concrete stairway.
It’s a very popular site, and has many of the scrapped pieces from the old Tacoma narrows bridge dumped there creating a nice artificial reef. Lots of classes going on here but its still not to bad. It also makes a nice place for night diving. As a side note, you do need to be aware of the currents in the Hood Canal, on high exchanges the current can unexpectedly pick up rapidly.
After the dive…
First official club dive of the year! It was a beautiful dry day, but a bit chilly. We had five divers who braved the cold water to venture into the depths. Water temp was 50 degrees and visibility was between 10-15 feet. The sea-life was out and about. We saw many species of fish as well as nudibranchs and a small ray. After the dive we all enjoyed some Jacks BBQ. Hope to see you at the next dive.
