Our Club shore dives are free, no cost dives open to all divers
(Unless the dive site has entry fees). If you are new to Puget Sound diving, don't have any dive buddies, or just
want to get together for some diving fun, come join us. We generally meet at the dive site with the gear we
need. Bring your own buddy or let us introduce you to some new ones. If you need rental gear for the dives you would
need to make arrangements to pick it up at the shop prior to to the dive.
Our club doesn't have any meeting
or membership rolls that take up valuable time that could be spent underwater, we just go diving! We would love to have you
join us.
Our dive staff will be on site to
lend you a hand if you need it. Be sure to check in with our staff and sign in if you are participating in our club
dive. You don't have any excuse now not to go diving. It's free.

Over in West Seattle this dive site is a nice change from the coves,
but it is not as often diveable due to being more exposed to currents. There is a line with various debris, along which it
is not uncommon to see Ling Cod, Shaggy Mouse Nudibranch, Octopus and other inhabitants of our waters. Also, Pacific Spiny
Lumpsuckers (Eumicrotremus orbis), one of the cutest and oddest fish in Puget Sound, have been sighted in the eel
grass at this site.

Dive site is in Edmonds ~ 20 minutes North of Seattle.
A marine preserve for many years, this is a great site to see huge fish and all kinds of critters. A little bit of a swim,
but worth it for the life you can see here. Some of the biggest rockfish around live here, and there are numerous small wrecks
and other interesting features to explore.

This is another nice local dive site over in West Seattle. It is
fairly shallow and typically has great ambient light for photography. Critters to be seen here include lots of nudibranch,
moon snails, other invertebrates and many fish. The tides this day necessitate diving farily early in the day, so if
you need gear come get it on Saturday.

A
great site for beginners and the familiar haunt of many experienced divers. This site is home of the wreck of the Honeybear,
the penguin boat, the I-Beams and variety of fish and invertebrates including at times some of the most enormous Giant Pacific
Octopus seen in the area. All within 15 minutes of Seattle.
