Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Harney Toe offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Harney Toe, located in the Pacific Northwest, offers a classic temperate water dive. You'll find a mix of rocky terrain and kelp beds, typical of the region, where we often spot lingcod, rockfish, and nudibranchs. Visibility can vary quite a bit, but on a good day, it’s a solid dive for those who appreciate colder water marine life and enjoy a bit of current. It’s a good choice for divers comfortable with local conditions.
