A Metro Parks Tacoma fishing pier and marine park on Ruston Way in Commencement Bay with a dedicated diver stairway. A short ~75 ft swim from the stairs reaches a large man-made reef built partly from blocks of the original Tacoma Narrows Bridge, lying perpendicular to shore in roughly 40-70 ft, with the bottom continuing past 120 ft for deeper profiles. Mild conditions, easy entry and on-site amenities make it one of Tacoma's most popular training and night-dive sites.
