Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Edmonds Oil Dock offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest reef diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Edmonds Oil Dock, often just called "the Edmonds," is a beloved shore dive in the Pacific Northwest. We find it’s a great spot for newer divers getting comfortable in temperate waters, or for anyone wanting an easy entry. Keep an eye out for giant Pacific octopuses, wolf eels, and a surprising variety of nudibranchs under the pilings. It's an often-visited site, so don't expect solitude, but it delivers on accessibility and typical PNW marine life.
Safety Notes
