Edmonds Oil Dock - Edmonds
Dive Site Description: THE DOCK AND PILINGS WERE REMOVED.
A long swim but a really nice dive. There is a low exchange, so it should be a good dive. You will occasionally hit a current here on the incoming tide, it at times will want to pull you North to the ferry landing! The terrain is a big bowl shape in-front of the dock. Tire pile to the South.
CAUTION: Broken and hanging pilings may be hazardous.
Alternate site is the jetty just to the north of the oil dock. Three rock piles of decreasing length start near the jetty and go down to about 40-60 feet. If you head north from the jetty's north corner at a depth of about 30 feet you should cross all three rock piles. There are more small rock piles below the jetty and there used to be a 20 foot sailboat wreck in about 25 feet about 100 feet from the marina entrance.
