Saltwater State Park

No reviews yetUSA, Washington

Underwater artificial reef for scuba divers. Because this is a marine preserve the number and size of fish are impressive for a shore dive. The underwater rocks and metal poles have grown an excellent amount of life over the years so it is worth the surface swim out. The two white marker buoys mark the first and last of the 3 artificial rock piles. Saltwater creek is a state park so typical state park restrictions apply: open dawn-dusk and discover pass required for parking. If you get a space up front you will be parked extremely close to the beach. There is a dive map posted on site which will show the three artificial reef rock piles and the location of the white marker bouys you can use to find them.

Great shore dive! Even better at Night! Good for training or having a large gathering. Guide ropes and easy bottom definition for ease of navigation. don't forget to visit the swing and the VW Bug! Large parking area. easy walk across street and down stairs, in to water/ beach depending on tide.
