Find Your Way Around

Did you know?

The average year-round water temperature in the Pacific Northwest is between 48 to 52 degrees. Compare this with the 40 - 50 degree Fahrenheit average water temps at Pt. Lobos, Monterey, CA. While a good 7mm wet suit will keep you comfie, we heartily recommend wearing a dry suit.

Something Different

Want to try something different? Dive the Pacific Northwest. When we moved to the Pacific Northwest, we were abundantly surprised by the variety of life in these beautiful, clear waters. We think there's a myth rolling around the universe that says there's nothing to see up here and it's too cold to dive. Boy, were we wrong! Reportedly one of the best places to dive by Jacques-Yves Cousteau, we've got critters galore. At one of my favorite dive spots, we see Pacific Red Octopus, an abundance of nudibranchs, stars and anemones (take a look at our friend, Rich's fine photos), greenlings, rock fish, star fish and anemones. Our pal Rich says just a little deeper there's a big Ol' Giant Pacific Octopus. Down the way at another favorite spot, there's wolf eels. ling cod, Cabezon, Rock fish and the usual assortment of stars, anemones and other sea creatures.

The visibility is typically decent to great. On a really bad day it can be 15' but most of the time it ranges from 20' to even 100' in spots. More >>
