Dive site description:
Sunrise Beach is a pretty decent dive, especially if you like Octopus and Wolf Eels. I dove this from a boat, but it can be done as a shore dive, although I've heard it a long walk down to the water. Anyway, I saw a couple wolf eels and octopi here, and we were able to feed an urchin to a wolf eel, which is quite an experience. There are a number of crevices where these large creatures can nest. I've also seen a ratfish there, which I particularly like seeing. There are also tons of other creatures here, your usual selection of Puget Sound fish, anemones, cucumbers, etc. I really can't do this site justice in my review, as I've only been there once so far, but I plan to go back. For more info, read "Northwest Shore Dives" or check the review at Eric's Scuba Page. |
