    Jorstad Creek offers a typical Pacific Northwest shore dive. You'll find a rocky slope descending into silty depths, home to grumpy Puget Sound king crabs and the occasional grumpy giant Pacific octopus. It’s a good spot for newer drysuit divers looking to practice skills without strong currents, or for those just wanting a quiet hour underwater. Visibility can be hit or miss, often settling around 3-6 meters.

    Safety Notes

    Cold water this month (avg 11°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
