For a change of pace from the other Alki dive sites, try the Pipeline.  You may find an octopus in the rubble, as well as most other marine life found in the area!

Just South of downtown Seattle, take the West Seattle Bridge to hop over to West Seattle.  Just before the bridge ends, make a right onto Harbor Ave SW.   Drive Northwest until you round the point and find yourself heading Southwest on Alki Ave SW.  Travel for a couple of miles until you round another point.  Once on Beach Drive, heading Southeast, pull over at the end of the little stretch of beach at the corner of 63rd Ave SW.  This is a roundabout way to get here, but it's the most scenic!

Alki Pipeline

My favorite site!  Every time I dive here (20+ times) I see something different.  This site is a very simple site to dive.  I recommend not diving during a low tide, as most of the dive would be in less than 15' of water.  A great site for photography.  Easy to get to and easy in/out of water.

#2 - Alki Pipeline

This is a site you can come back to dozens of times and never see it all.  Set up specifically for divers, you'll find wrecks, bottles, and sea life galore--  but don't even think about bringing anything back with you!  Navigation is relatively easy with the well-placed system of buoys and ropes that lead to many of the underwater sights.

Just North of Seattle, take Exit 177 off I-5 and head West toward the Edmonds-Kingston Ferry on 104.  Just before you find yourself at the Ferry, take a left on Main Street, cross the railroad tracks, then turn right into the park.

Edmonds Underwater Park

This is kind of like going to the zoo.  There are trails to follow with all sorts of sea life along the path.  The fish are in a protected environment so they grow big, Ling, Cabezon, crab ,etc...
