Dive planning for Waterman's Wall
Site Briefing
A colorful current-intensive wall dive near Port Orchard that drops to well over 100ft. This dive feels more like a San Juan dive more than a Puget Sound dive: lots of color with often silty visibility. Heavy boat traffic overhead; surface marker buoy recommended.
⚠️ Safety & accuracy
Before diving at Waterman's Wall, always check the site-specific wind/wave forecast, tide/currents, and recent pnwdiving reports (latest: Apr 14, 2024)! Reminder: Winds (even offshore winds) can impact slack time.
Briefings may be out of date or have inaccuracies. Dive within your training and experience. The first time diving a site, join someone familiar with the site and/or start on a mild day.
See our currents, tides, wind, and waves guide for help reading charts and planning current-sensitive dives.
