Sunny Side Park is a perfect place for a relaxing day of diving.  Away from the currents of the Narrows, you can be assured of an easy dive with plenty to explore.  An abandoned sewer pipeline that runs off-shore from the beach always has plenty of creatures to observe.

Found 13 miles South of Tacoma, there are other ways to get here. The easiest, most direct route is to take Exit 119 North on Steilacoom Road.  This road winds its way down to the water where it becomes Union Ave.   Take a right on Lafayette, and continue on as it becomes Chambers Creek Road.  You'll see the park on your left.
