This is a great location for photography as the water was so clear and the
life so diverse. Dive skiff had overhead net hammocks for small gear that
we also used for Cameras.    

Overall Rating

The good is the diving. Because of the strong currents there is abundant
life here. The operator (Earl) was very good at judging the currents, so
that we could dive with a minimum of effort. Good thing too since it was
hard to find a bare rock anywhere to hang on to, everything was covered.
There are soft corals, nudibranchs, anemones, Puget Sound king crab, ling
cod, various sculpins, all the usual characters. Except here they are in
unusual quantities. In one crevice for example we found 5 Puget Sound king
crabs, the biggest almost a foot across. The lodging was comfortable with a
huge TV and a cozy wood stove. There is a hot tub that feels really good
after a hard day of diving. The lodgings are in the lower floor of the
operators home. You actually eat in their dining room. This was a little
weird at first but they are so gracious that you soon become comfortable
with it and it feels more like you are staying with friends instead of
intruding in a strangers home. There are two private rooms for couples and
two barracks style rooms. One of the barracks style rooms has a double bed,
so it could also be used for a third couple.They have a great drying room.
The bad? Even though we left our gear secured on the boat between dives the
walk up the hill to the lodge was kind of a drag. We used our cars to take
the gear down there and pick it back up at the end of the trip.
