Port Townsend

Port Townsend is a coastal town in Washington state on the Puget Sound fringe. It has limited local diving relevance, with a small number of nearby dive opportunities accessible by boat from the coast or nearby Puget Sound sites. The area is known for cold-water conditions, marine life typical of the Pacific Northwest, and variable visibility. Divers staying here typically use nearby Seattle/Tacoma or the Strait of Juan de Fuca access points for day trips, training, or exploration, but there are no large, city-centered dive hubs right in Port Townsend.
