Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Meadowdale Wharf offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest reef diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Meadowdale Wharf is a shore dive in the Pacific Northwest, popular for its easy access and surprisingly varied macro life. Look closely among the pilings and you’ll find nudibranchs, sculpins, and various crabs tucked into crevices. It’s a good spot for newer divers getting comfortable with cold water, or experienced photographers practicing their close-up shots without strong currents. We often hit it as a second dive when something more ambitious is blown out.
