Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Bayswater

The spot is easy to see as there is a fish farm offshore, in the lee of an island, which partially shelters the dive site. This spot is where the main road comes very close to the water, and you just run out of trees. It is across the road from a couple of houses. Bayswater Pulbic Beach and Picnic area is in sight, just a kilometer further along the road. Take care walking down the cobble, as the small rocks can shift under foot. Nice fish life in the summer: Cunner, Pollock, Sea Ravens, Sculpins, Tomcod and some flounders. There is room across from the houses and the side road to park off the highway. The top of the small cobble beach is safe to park on, but out further is soft. Water access is a short walk down the gently sloping shore. Nice underwater boulder field draped in seaweeds. Easy diving in the 10' to 50' range. There is deeper water out further, but the bottom changes to mud. Nicest diving is shallow. No currents, but requires light winds if from any southerly direction, as the cobble beach faces southeast.
