Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Fort Worden Reef

In the background of the intro picture, you can see the Science Center within Fort Worden. The reef is just beyond and off the beach area. Made of old tires, the artificial reef is replete with sea life; you never know what you'll find lurking in those old tires! Be careful not to disturb the area, as the reef is still young and fragile. Located in Port Townsend, drive into the town on Water Street, and turn left on Cass Street, which will turn into Cherry Street. The Fort will appear in about a mile.

This is primarily a sandy bottom with some artificial reef debris scattered around. I dive this because I enjoy anchoring my boat here. The view of the lighthouse and all of the ship and boat traffic I find entertaining. In addition to the expected fish, I have seen some huge crab here. It is a relatively shallow dive, that I find perfectly enjoyable.
