Titlow Beach Marine Preserve
Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Titlow Beach offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
Titlow Beach is a reliable shore dive in the Pacific Northwest, easily accessible and generally calm. We often find good nudibranchs here, along with sculpins hiding among the rocks and the occasional octopus if you have a keen eye. It’s a solid spot for newer divers looking to get some bottom time without challenging conditions, or for photographers wanting to practice their macro skills. Expect typical Puget Sound visibility, which can vary quite a bit.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 11°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
