Sink Or Swim Scuba Inc.

Pacific Northwest, United States

The team at Sink Or Swim Scuba Inc. are the real deal, perfect for anyone looking to dive the often chilly, always spectacular waters of the Pacific Northwest. We love how they specialise in getting you comfortable in drysuits right from the start, which is essential for enjoying the region’s incredible walls and kelp forests. They’re PADI 5 Star, so the training is solid, but it’s their local knowledge that truly shines. Our favourite dives with them usually involve exploring the local shore sites, like those near Edmonds Underwater Park, where we often spot giant Pacific octopuses tucked into crevices or wolf eels peering out from their dens. The water here, even on a sunny day, has that crisp, cold bite, and the light filtering through the kelp creates an almost ethereal green glow. We’d suggest going for an early morning dive if you can, as the boat traffic is minimal and the resident seals are often more curious. Visibility can vary wildly, sometimes a glorious 15 metres, other times a more intimate 5, but either way, the macro life here is always a treat – nudibranchs in every colour imaginable cling to the rocks. If you’re serious about diving the PNW, or just want to see what diving in a drysuit is all about, these are your people.
