Diving Seattle Waterfront

urban diving -- barf!

I've done some working dives under the pier that is immediately south of the coleman ferry dock. It was a nice day of work, but there is nothing interesting to see unless you've never seen starfish, barnacles and mud before----oh yeah, there were perch too.

If you are serious about it, make sure you inform the Coasties of your intention prior to jumping in the water.

I had a boat at the Harbor Island marina a few years ago- I dove there a few times even though it is just down the river from where all the super fund dredging was going on. There were a lot of shrimp and crab all over the bottom and pilings and a few sea pens in the silt, but other than that not a lot to see. Mostly I would drop down to the bottom after changing zincs or changing props to retrieve tools. I certainly wouldn't recommend it just for a recreational dive.
