Why dive here
With 35+ marine species recorded in the area - including humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - White Lady (Repulse Rock) offers some of Pacific Northwest's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 7-17°C, warmest July, August, September.
The White Lady, or Repulse Rock as some call it, is a pinnacle that holds its own in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve found the best approach is to drop in close to the rock, then let the current guide you around. Keep an eye out for the usual suspects: thick schools of Pacific herring often shimmer around the deeper sections, and you’ll spot plenty of Red Rock Crabs tucked into crevices. If you’re lucky, a Spotted Ratfish might glide by, or a curious Dungeness Crab might scuttle across your path. This isn't a site for deep exploration, but it’s a good choice for a relaxed dive, especially when you’re looking to tick off a few of the region’s common species without a long boat ride.
Safety Notes
Cold water this month (avg 11°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
