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!

Hey I dig this site... easy access and stuff to look at.  Things I've seen here:  Octopus, a huge skate 4' across, and the most fun things: stubby squid.. they are sooo cute!   This is a great fun, and safe dive... it's easy to see where you're going, and if you ever get into trouble, it's never more than 20' to the surface.  This means you've got a long time to enjoy the critters, too.
