For anyone diving this site for the first time, approach with caution. The Tacoma Narrows has some particularly strong currents. Don’t let the pristine waters have you throwing caution to the wind. You’ll want to dive site at the slack tide—high or low. While this site is suitable for beginners when dived at the right time, I haven’t rated it as such because I find that most new divers have very little understanding of how to dive new sites safely, if for no other reason than dive training agencies tend to leave explaining what to look out for and how to assess sites to the instructors and divemasters.
