Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Sund Rock
Sund Rock is by mike's dive shop at Hoodsport on 101. There is a 15 dollar fee for this dive but they have showers and bathrooms. From what I have been told you can find a path and dive Sund Rock free.
Great dive. Info on site is at "Hood Sport 'N Dive".Wall dive. Aquatic life includes sea anemones, sea cucumbers, crab, shrimp, rockfish, sculpin, lingcod, wolf eels, and spiny dogfish shark.
In order to access Sund Rock you must pay entrance fee to "Hood Sport 'N Dive" on
24080 N. Hwy 101 P.O. Box 1445
Hoodsport, WA
Once entrance fee is payed a nice open parking lot is avalible to set up gear just 5 feet from the water. Very nice area.

Easy to drain 3 tanks here.... from Olympia, I-5 Exit 104, onto Hwy-101-North, go 5.8 miles & turn right at Hwy-101/Hwy-8 to Shelton, go through Hoodsport ~28 miles, cross Finch Creek Bridge north of town, then 2 miles, just approaching a rise in a left turn there's small turnout, trail about center of turnout, down 155 steps to the high water, PRIVATE LAND here so enter between white boundary markers at trail's end, swim about 55 degrees for about 10 minutes, drop 15 to 80 feet... Typical: current 0-1.3 knots, vis. 20 ft, weekend very busy, octopus, wolf eels, crabs, fish... Hood Sport/Dive is about 4/10 mile north with air, Nitrox, & showers, and a key to enter the Sund Rock site directly from a private parking area for ~$15-pp. The 200-300 ft long rocky wall is nice... also there's a north wall a couple hundred feet or so north of this wall that's easily accessed from the paid parking area... and an anchor, and a small boat... and if you like sea whips, plumose anemones, nudibranchs, moon snails, and crabs, although sparse, try south of Sund Rock 20-50 ft.
