Edmonds Underwater Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edmonds Underwater Park (EUP) is a local classic scuba diving site in the northern Seattle (Washington, United States) suburb of Edmonds immediately north of the Edmonds Washington State Ferry terminal on the Edmonds-Kingston route. EUP is relatively shallow with a maximum depth of only about 40 feet. There is a grid network of anchored ropes that lead to a variety of submerged features. There are several submerged shipwrecks including the large tugboat Triumph. The site is famous for very large ling cod, numerous large friendly cabezon, occasional octopus, many surf perch and rockfish, and a lot of invertebrates. Grey whales have been spotted by divers at this site. Entrance is via moderate surface swims. There is a restroom with diver dressing areas, an outdoor shower that is functional when the weather is above freezing. There is a 300-foot exclusion zone just north of the ferry terminal. There is a good parking area that fills up early. Numerous restaurants and coffee houses are in the immediate area. A local dive shop is conveniently located south of the park on Railroad Avenue.
