Point Wilson search

Per Glenn: We sort-of dove this area. I had high hopes! We took scooters from the Marine Science Pier and just kept going north. Just south of the lighthouse, where it really starts to drop off, we turned around. Currents got nasty toward the point. But the bigger issue was there wasn't anything to see. All the life and substrate is to the south near the pier. Near the point there was just sand and shell hash, which seemed odd to me. I was really hoping it would mimic deception pass. That area has some of the strongest tidal rips in Puget Sound. A bit north of there is a buoy that is often hammered by rips from the incoming or outgoing currents. I recently found out it's also one of just a few areas in Puget Sound where they're thinking of prototyping electricity generation from ocean currents, which makes sense, but that project hasn't launched yet. All that said, I want to do it again but go farther just to see. I know there's some great kelp beds and rocks 'around the corner' north and west of the lighthouse. Date of dive unknown
