Edmonds Underwater Park, Marine conservation dive site in Edmonds, United States
Edmonds Underwater Park is a diving site covering 27 acres of marine floor and waters, with artificial reefs and several sunken vessels to explore. A system of fixed guide ropes helps divers navigate safely through the underwater terrain.
The park was established in 1970 at Brackett's Landing, building on the earlier sinking of a dry dock structure in 1935. This early diving location evolved into a protected marine area dedicated to ocean preservation.
The park serves as a gathering place for the diving community, drawing enthusiasts from across the Pacific Northwest to experience marine life. It functions as a center for ocean education and conservation awareness among visitors.
The park provides changing facilities, showers, and foot-washing stations for divers to use before and after diving. The marked underwater trails extend to depths of about 45 feet and are suitable for divers of varying experience levels.
A large pontoon structure was sunk in 2009 to add a new exploration element to the park, featuring five interior chambers divers can swim through. Its interior has rapidly filled with marine life, offering visitors a chance to explore a functioning artificial ecosystem.
