Les Davis Pier

Les Davis Pier is a shallow, urban pier dive site near Tacoma, typically exploring near-jetty structure and pilings. Access is easy from the nearby coastline, with entry from the pier edge and calm, sheltered conditions in good weather. The site commonly features flat sandy bottoms with scattered patches of eelgrass and a mix of small reef fish and crustaceans around the pilings. Visibility varies with tides and weather but is generally moderate for pier diving. This site is suitable for training dives, drift practices along sheltered channels, and introductory underwater photography close to shore. Since it is a man-made structure, be mindful of current around the pilings and potential debris.
