Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Forge Fitness offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Forge Fitness, in the Pacific Northwest, is a solid spot for getting comfortable in the water. At a consistent 3 meters, it’s all about buoyancy practice and getting used to your gear without much fuss. We've seen plenty of divers working on fin kicks here, and it's perfect for open water students or anyone shaking off the rust. Visibility can vary, but generally, you’ll find the usual suspects – small sculpins, maybe a crab or two scuttling across the bottom – nothing spectacular, but a reliable training ground.
