Hagen Reef
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Hagen Reef offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest reef diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Hagen Reef gives you that true Pacific Northwest dive feel. We’re talking plenty of cool water critters, a healthy dose of green and brown, and a good chance of seeing some bigger stuff cruise by. You’ll find big skates settled on the sand, red rock crabs scuttling over the rocks, and sunflower stars adding splashes of colour. Keep an eye out for salmon species like Chinook and coho, especially during their runs, and if you’re lucky, maybe even a harbour porpoise or a gray whale. It’s a solid dive for those who appreciate the unique beauty of temperate waters.
