A designated conservation area on the west shore of Hood Canal about 2 miles north of Hoodsport, widely considered one of Washington's premier shore dives. Two main walls (north and south) drop to 70-80 ft with deeper walls beyond 100 ft for technical divers, plus a sunken boat north of the north wall and a small wreck between the walls. The site is not current-sensitive, and resident giant Pacific octopus and mated wolf eel pairs are the headline attractions.
