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.

This is where I did my first open water dives. The current was strong and visibility was terrible but I felt it was a nice place for a beginner like myself. Unfortunately I got deployed to Iraq a few weeks after and have not been able to dive since. I will probably dive there again to refresh when I get home. I was hooked from my first dive and hope to dive a lot more when I return in Sept 2006.
