Diving for crab in the puget sound

[TSandM]

I do also enjoy taking the red rock crab because they seem to pinch much harder than the dungeness, and I always enjoy a good fight with a crab.

That is SO you!

I know this is a old post, I'm a beginner diver, In several months I'm about to dive for some crab down in Mukilteo when the season opens up. I'm wondering on what gear type you need for crabbing, and cost of gear, so not to overbuy.

Has anyone gone diving for crab around the South King County area, Burien, Redondo, Des Moines, Federal Way, and Tacoma?

Not really, tends to be restricted by seasons. Most go up to Mukilteo area for crab, seasons and percentages just seem to be better. Following to learn more, but this has been my experience over the last couple years.

The crabs are everywhere. But please don't hunt at recreational dive sites.
