Northwest Shore Dives was written for those interested in Scuba diving in the Pacific Northwest. Designed as a dive planning tool with diving safety in mind, this revised & enlarged, third edition describes 55 dive sites throughout Puget Sound, Hood Canal, the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Rosario Strait, San Juan Island, Lopez Island & Orcas Island; all located in Washington State. Each dive site has public access & is accessible for either shore or boat. Dive site descriptions contain information on bottom depths, suggested skill levels, entry & exit points, current factors, driving directions, site facilities & suggested non-diver activities. Additionally, dive site descriptions introduce readers to 55 marine animals that they may see while diving in the Pacific Northwest. Current correction factors were checked at each dive site using observations of plankton flow reversal. The resulting current correction factors are used by divers to estimate when slack current will occur in inshore areas prior to flood & ebb current flows. Includes color cover, 25 color plates, 55 B&W photos, 64 site maps & 56 pen & ink drawings of marine animals. Dive site maps contain current vectors showing directional flow of flood & ebb currents.
