Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Mukilteo Oil Dock
The Oil Dock is actually the most interesting dive in this area. It is a bit of a hike to get to the entry point, but well worth it just to be able to explore the pilings of this huge structure.<br><br>*** CLOSED TO DIVING ***<br>SEE THE REVIEW OF 6/11/2015 BELOW<br>
Take exit 189 off I-5 in Everett, and head West on 526. Then head North on 525. Follow signs to the Mukilteo Ferry. Take a right at the intersection just after you pass of over the railroad tracks. Just past the hotel on your left, turn right, then turn left before you reach the tracks again. Drive North and parallel to the coast, keeping the tracks to your right-- your road will turn to a heavily potted, dirt road. Continue on until you reach the dirt parking area.

We dove the oil dock today for crab, it was our first time diving for crab and my first time diving in the north west. We had to enter the water from the point near the ferry dock and walk/swim about a quarter mile north to the oil dock, about 20 minutes. We only dove around the first third of the dock, on both the north and south side. The visibility was around 20 feet, and there was almost no current. The south side had a few rock crab, but almost no Dungeness crab. When we swam to the north side there were a number of Dungeness crab. I am not sure what is normal for this area, but there were enough to keep us busy. After 2 dives we (3 of us) ended up with 6 rock crab and 3 Dungeness crab.
