Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Salt Water State Park

If you're looking for a relatively easy dive with great facilities and picnic areas, this is it. The smooth entry and sandy bottom takes you straight out to an interesting wreck. A wooden barge was sunk here in the early 70's, and continues to be a refuge to a plethora of marine life. If you are new to shore diving, this is a good spot to get your feet wet! About 10 miles South of Seattle in Des Moines. At Exit 149, take 516 West. In about 2 miles, go South on Marine View Drive. You'll hit the park in about another mile.

The algae on the surface made for a nasty surface swim out and in. There was a slight surface current which didn't help the swim. But worst of all, the visibility at depth was about 3-4 ft due to algae. We weren't down long and saw nothing. I wont be back. We paid the $5 parking fee and some of the bathrooms were closed.
