One of the most popular training and night-dive sites in south Puget Sound, on the Redondo waterfront boardwalk in Des Moines next to the MaST Center aquarium. A gentle sandy slope holds guide ropes (shallow line ~50 ft, deep line ~100 ft), sunken boats, a VW bug and other debris that act as artificial reef. It is famous for muck-style critter hunting - red octopus, stubby squid and Pacific spiny lumpsuckers on night dives - with easy stair entry next to the boat ramp.
