A Hearty Hello from Puget Sound

[Zach The Diver]

Hello. New to Scubaboard and looking forward to what this place has to offer. I've been OW certified since 2021 but only really got into diving after a trip to Oahu last July... I'm now at 56 dives split between Oahu, Kona, and the southern Puget Sound area (as well as Vancouver Island in a couple of weeks!). Looking forward to learning as much as I can here.

I'm down south in Dupont (between Tacoma and Olympia). I haven't done any diving that way yet but I'd love to hear some suggestions!

I definitely appreciate the offer and would be interested, but I'll be moving away in roughly a year and my work has me traveling around to begin with. Glad that there's such a good organization out there for PNW divers of different skill levels!

Then don't waste any more time. You should be diving. See you in the water:

Hood Canal without a doubt. YSS is the LDS there, really great people. They do boat and land dives

Sund Rock is an easy shore dive with benches and a port-a-potty. Not affiliated with YSS but they can give you the details

When the tide is out, head down Sequalitchew Trail (trailhead is by the fire station and town hall), and go explore the concrete boats. It isn’t a dive, but they’re really cool.

Diving around DuPont/JBLM isn’t all that exciting but it’s good for skills dives and just getting in the water.

Up in Tacoma check out Les Davis Marine Park, and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (tricky to get to but an awesome dive).
