The Puget Sound is a unique area where the ocean has penetrated the mainland and created some beautiful seascapes. In addition, the Sound is home to several unique sea creatures, including sea cucumbers, Dungeness crabs, chitin, salmon, and some of the largest octopi in the world. This makes Puget Sound a great destination for scuba diving. But the Sound is also a bit different than most other scuba destinations. For one, the water in the Northwest is much colder than a tropical location, and also much murkier. You will need a diving flashlight and the appropriate scuba diving equipment to keep warm once you get out of the water or risk hypothermia.
Several Puget Sound homes located on the various islands and beaches are right on the water, and offer scuba diving literally in your own backyard. If you’re coming from out of town, however, you can always charter a private dive boat.
