Edmonds

Edmonds sits on Puget Sound just north of Seattle, serving as a gateway city for coastal and freshwater diving in the greater Pacific Northwest. While the city itself isn’t a premier diving destination, it offers access to nearby dive sites in the Northwest and easy reach to local dive centers that provide training, equipment rental, and day trips. Divers visiting Edmonds often use the ferry connections to reach nearby coastal sites, and seasonally can encounter temperate-water conditions with diverse marine life, including salmon, harbor seals, and common Pacific Northwest creatures. The surrounding area also provides opportunities to explore freshwater options further inland for training and skills development.
