Current/Tide Stations
7/3/26
Many dive sites in Puget Sound are current-sensitive and best dived around slack water — the brief windows when currents drop near zero between tide changes. The charts below combine the major tide and current stations in the region. Watch our currents, tides, wind, and waves guide for help reading these charts. See individual dive site pages for site-specific timing.
