A little bit about Puget Sound diving

Many dive sites in the Puget Sound can only be accessed 4 times per day during slack tides. Currents can be too strong otherwise, exceeding 3 knots. Significant tidal exchange provides an exorbitant amount of nutrients; therein lies the origin of a thriving food chain. Among the masses of marine life found here, you may encounter octopus, wolf eels, ratfish, big skates, and rarely, 6-gill sharks. Some appear other-worldly or prehistoric, and provide a stunning first-time experience.

New to Puget Sound waters?

Warm-water divers always ask, "what is so great about diving in the Puget Sound?" 40-50 degree water, 20 feet of visibility, and strong currents? These characteristics, often perceived as negative, are the real reason for the magnificent scenery and marine life found here.

We have an obligation to respect and care for the environment and all life in the area where we operate. Our goal is to follow the guidelines set forth by the PADI Project AWARE program.

As an ECO-OPERATOR, we pledge to:

  • Provide scuba diving experiences that enhance visitor's aquatic appreciation & understanding
  • Use recycled products when appropriate
  • Participate in local conservation efforts and support established parks & reserves
  • Respect local people, culture and traditions and abide by local laws & regulations
  • Not sell any items from endangered or threatened species
  • Provide pre-dive briefings on responsible diving practices
  • Use mooring buoys or drift diving techniques when possible to avoid damaging underwater habitats
  • Display environmental awareness materials and provide community involvement opportunities
  • Use environmentally sound methods of rubbish disposal
  • Keep engines maintained & assure they run efficiently to reduce fuel consumption and emissions
