ALKI JUNKYARD - West Seattle
Dive Site Description:
Gear up and enter the water about 50 yards from the west end of the concrete walkway. Swim underwater and descend down the slope. All across the slope, especially back towards the rest of the beach, you'll find numerous man made piles of junk strewn across the bottom. At about 20-30 feet you'll find a guide-rope which leads down the slope. The rope connects to a rope running parallel to shore in about 50 ~ 60 feet. Follow the rope and you'll find the junk piles off each side of the rope.
The Junkyard features EASY ACCESS and a moderate swim. This divesite is suitable for all levels of divers. The Alki park lavatories are open year-round.
