Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Edmonds Underwater Park
This is a site you can come back to dozens of times and never see it all. Set up specifically for divers, you'll find wrecks, bottles, and sea life galore-- but don't even think about bringing anything back with you! Navigation is relatively easy with the well-placed system of buoys and ropes that lead to many of the underwater sights.
Just North of Seattle, take Exit 177 off I-5 and head West toward the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry on 104. Just before you find yourself at the Ferry, take a left on Main Street, cross the railroad tracks, then turn right into the park.

Edmonds U/W Park has excellent facilities, but the parking lot could be a LOT larger than it is! The gradually sloping bottom of this area means a long surface swim before you get to any of the features of the park. Also, try to dive this on high tide, since it will be a bit deeper and easier to maintain neutral buoyancy. The fish and critter life here is fantastic! Since it's a protected area, the fish can grow REALLY huge.(and they do!)
