Edgewater Beach Park Question...

[JFairleigh]

We regularly dive the T Doc, but I've heard a few divers talk about diving from the park. But looking at Google Maps, I'm confused about where people enter. It looks like it is a huge mud flat, and I can't find a dive briefing or site map online. What am I missing? Is it a long (shallow) surface swim? Thank you!

We normally enter on the beach next to the pier (west of the pier, or down on your picture above.) It's a long walk across the mudflats and then a long surface swim until you can drop along the pilings for the pier -- DPVs help a lot here. In the past, the crabbing (during Dungeness crab season) was worth the swim out.

Ok. By pier, do you mean the fishing pier down by the ferry (not pictured), or the Port of Everett terminal (pictured)?

Sorry -- I meant the angled Port of Everett pier in the picture that serves Boeing at Paine Field.
