Seattle Guide: Scuba Diving Within 150 - 300 miles

Seattle Highlights

  • Take advantage of Alki Beach Park—a premier two-mile outdoor classroom for scuba instruction.  Classes include wreck diving, marine life identification, and underwater photography.  
  • Divers will delight in sandy-bottom waters; home to sea stars, copper rockfish, and perch.
  • Average visibility is ten to 50 feet with wintertime maximums up to 100 feet. 
  • Dive with a dry suit for the best protection against exposure; water temperatures average 42 to 45 degrees throughout the year.  
  • Stay near the shore and use a compass—tidal currents can be disorienting.
