Northwest Wreck Dives
Caution: Northwest Wreck Diving can be addictive.
Charter Operators
There are
a couple of very good, safe charter operators
in the Pacific Northwest. There are even a few that specialize
in wreck and technical charters. We have had very good luck
with Mike Ferguson's
Porthole
Dive Charters. The Dash makes a great Lake
Washington tech/wreck dive boat. The Mark V is a super stable
dive platform for those rougher areas, like diving the Andalusia in
Neah Bay.
Scott
Boyd is also a very experienced Charter Boat Captain and his boat
(the
Dive Bum) is a well known fixture at many of our local wreck
sites. The boat is equipped with Side Scan Sonar, a sturdy
dive ladder and a comfy diesel heater. It was also the
platform used to locate most of the wrecks in Northwest Wreck Dives.
Scott and the Dive Bum will be featured in an upcoming episode of the Travel Channel show Forbidden Access - Seattle. Check it out in August or September.
If
you're interested in some recreational wreck dives in Central Puget
Sound or in the San Juan Islands, Rick Myers'
Bandito Charters runs one of the best charter operations in
Puget Sound.
Several of the dive shops north of Seattle run regular wreck
diving charters to several of our local wrecks using other
operators. Be sure to check in with your local dive shop to
see what opportunities they might have to visit our spectacular
Northwest Wrecks.
