Maury Island Marine Park

Maury Island Marine Park is a straightforward, nearshore dive site suitable for repeated practice and creek-like coastal diving. Situated in a sheltered area, the site typically features shallow, sandy flats with scattered shell hash and occasional kelp clumps. Depths are shallow, making it accessible for entry-level divers, and visibility can vary with recent conditions. The site commonly hosts a mix of small pelagic and demersal species and offers a calm environment ideal for buoyancy control, navigation, and basic reef or macro exploration close to shore. Access is convenient from nearby towns, with several dive centers operating in the Puget Sound region offering guided trips and equipment rental. As with many nearshore sites, currents are usually mild but can develop with tidal changes, so plan dives accordingly.
