If you're looking for a relatively easy dive with great facilities and picnic areas, this is it.  The smooth entry and sandy bottom takes you straight out to an interesting wreck.  A wooden barge was sunk here in the early 70's, and continues to be a refuge to a plethora of marine life.  If you are new to shore diving, this is a good spot to get your feet wet!

About 10 miles South of Seattle in Des Moines.  At Exit 149, take 516 West.  In about 2 miles, go South on Marine View Drive.  You'll hit the park in about another mile.

Salt Water State Park

Best to dive this site is during winter months, the summer algae bloom tends to reduce bottom visibility to 10 feet.  No night diving at this site, the park closes at 9:00 PM.  This is a great site for beginner divers, or tune up dives.  The surface swim is not as bad as other divers make it out to be.  However, now add a $5.00 parking fee at this state park.
