Begin your adventure by heading out with us on the Ocean Quest charter boat to explore the incredible diving of the south Puget Sound. The dive sites offer a variety of life here in the Pacific Northwest from Seals, Pacific Giant Octopus and Wolfeels to name a few. You can also see many Nudibranchs, Ling-cod, Rockfish, Puget Sound King Crab and much, much more. Bring along your under water camera as you will want to take home some great photos of everything you will see.

All the wildlife is not ONLY underwater. There is lots to see topside too, including eagles, herons, seals, and even whales. Be sure to pack plenty of warm clothing, camera, binoculars and maybe even some sunscreen!

Most diving is done from a “live” boat, but a few sites have a mooring buoy.  You must be comfortable in current and have cold water diving experience.
