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.

This is best done as a night dive in my opinion (be sure to bring 2 lights!). This site requires a long swim out to the dock. Calculate slack accurately or you will hate life. Walk along the beach until you are closest to the middle of the dock. Begin the long surface swim out. Be sure to take a accurate compass reading back to shore. Once you arrive at the dock descend and begin your dive. Explore inside and around the pilings. Leave enough air to make your way back to shore underwater. There are some interesting things you will come across.
