Pacific Northwest Dive Site Map Sharing Thread

[CascadianDivers]

Howdy yall,

I have been trying to develop and collect maps for all our pacific north west dive sites to help with dive planning from home. If you have a map or sketch of your favorite PNW dive site I am sure the both the community and I would be very thankful for your contribution.

To kick off the effort and be the change I wish to see I have included my v.1 map of the Triton Cove State Park Shore Dives. If there is anything I am missing, shoot me an update and i will get v.2 out asap.

If you can take a minute to share your maps of your favorite local dive sites. It would be a great help to documenting our favorite places to dive. As well as making the planning processes easier for our community members who may not be so local.

no map is too rough. share your napkin maps, MS paint skills, or polished arcGIS masterpieces and we will make sure the community has access to them here.

Newer versions of that map can be purchased for $10 cash at Underwater Sports in Edmonds. All proceeds go to further enhancements of the park. When I created my dive planning doc for the PNW, Bruce asked me not to include any version of his map.

can you sketch us a rough map of the dive area?

I have never visited the site, but if you get me a rough sketch i can turn it into one of the satellite imagery maps i posted above in QGIS to share with the group.

Ben Griner of Coastal Sensing & Survey has shared a number of sites on his website here: Coastal Sensing & Survey. Though I suspect a number of them (especially Lake Union - @rjack321 is probably a good source to weigh in on that) are not divable. Best to always inquire.
