Great diving. Visibility can be rough at the surface in the sound, but usually clears up. Bring a drysuit or at least a 7 mil wetsuit, water temp often low 40s to 50s.
Several excellent dive sites in the area.

We dove the Edmunds UW Park one time. First, it was so busy that it took over 1/2 hour just to find parking. Then, we didn't realize we were in the middle of Ling Cod nesting season, and didn't understand what the signs meant. On our way out, we went right over a nest and were attacked by an over-anxious male, protecting his nest. After a very long shallow swim out, we turned around and came back to shore, careful to avoid the nest, but, alas, ran right into it AGAIN.... Needless to say, an exciting dive! LOTS of hermit crabs, though, they were pretty amazing!

Since we're only 4 hours away, we dove Puget Sound, mostly Hoods Canal, an average of one weekend a month all winter for several years. This is dry-suit diving, and shore diving - lots of weight and plenty of layers to stay warm, but it's breathtakingly beautiful and well-worth the effort.

Great wolf eels! Dove after a big storm, so the visibility was bad.

The park is roped off. No boat traffic, no fishing. That makes for tons of (large) sea life! Water is cold, but the amount of life makes it so you don't notice as much. Great place to take pictures!

Very cold water, bring at least 7ml wetsuit, or drysuit. Dives depth- 30-45 ft, not too deep. Ferry terminal right next door to underwater park, so pay attention to underwater markers defining park boundaries so you do not enter ferry waters. Park located about 20 minutes north of Seattle. Shore dive with surface swim- park has sunken boats, sunken drydock, and other items to provide habitat. Maps of park available. Tons of wildlife- Huge cabezon, lingcod, rockfish, seastars, sea cucumbers, nudibranchs, anemones, tube worms, dungeness crab, shrimp, ratfish, flounder and pipefish. Restrooms, dry changing area, and outside shower to rinse off gear available on site.

The water is cold here. Bring your dry suit or a whole bunch of neoprene. The invertebrate life in the sound is fantastic. The bottom is literally carpeted with life. Get a chance to see a giant octopus or a friendly Wolf eel. This is the place.
