This site has it all!  Well, almost-- no wrecks, no Whale Sharks-- but if you are looking for interesting marine life, this is the place.  With a creviced wall at about 30 to 60 feet deep and 100 feet long, you'll spend most of your time exploring the nooks and crannies.   Wolf Eels and Octopus are the highlights.  Bring two tanks, and plan to spend the day in the area-- but not the night, as the gates are locked at dusk.  If you aren't familiar with using the tide tables, don't dive this site-- the current can surprise you!

Found in Gig Harbor, about 6 miles NW of Tacoma.  Take either exit of Highway 16 to get to Gig Harbor, and wind your way around to the North part of the harbor.  

You'll find yourself on Peacock Hill Ave NW. 
Make a right on 96th Street NW, then a left on Crescent Valley Drive.  
In less than a mile, turn right onto Hallstrom Dr. NW and follow the signs down to the park.

Remember the landmarks going down, as you won't find "Gig Harbor: This Way" signs coming back up!

Sunrise Beach Park

Robbie and I did this dive after a weekend at Hoodsport,WA. Without a doubt our best dive yet. Lots of marine life. If you do this dive, observe the tide tables and bring a good light. Lots of nooks and crannies to explore. And, as for the walk to the beach, It's not that bad, but be sure and respect the private property. We would hate to see it posted because of foolishness. Happy & Safe Diving. Bob & Rob Barreiros,Corvallis,Montana
