40 Steps, the name comes from all the awful stairs you have to lug your gear up and down. It is an easy entry, small pebbles on the shore, not a sandy beach. Typical New England sea life here. I tend to dive to the right side of the cove. You can find some interesting rock formations out there. There is no parking here.

This is a 26 acre underwater park, marked by rope trails for navigational purposes. It is part of a marine sanctuary which disallows any type of fishing and boating. It is a shore dive with a max depth of around 40 ft. Home to some of the largest lingcod and cabezon found in the Pacific Northwest. Many different types or vertebrates and invertebrates can be found. On occasion a gray whale can be seen and a Giant Pacific Octopus has been known to take up residency. Probably one of the most dived sites on the west coast.

Dive 1: Drop in and go counter-clockwise around small island northwest of drop in. Keep the island wall to your right the whole time. At beginning of dive, (approximately 8 o'clock) depth is about 70 ft. As you progress around the island wall and reach 12 o'clock the depth rises to 50 ft. Once you reach the channel the depth becomes around 30 ft. If you have good air management you can do a complete lap around the island with one tank depending on how much stopping you do. WARNING: Due the Northern exposure of this dive the water can get unpredictable at times, especially in the channel. Make sure you do this dive on mellow days.
Dive 2: Drop in and go Northwest-west. An advanced dive ensues that starts you out at 70 ft. As you keep traveling in the same direction the dive gets deeper and deeper. At about 100-110 ft it's about time to turn around and head back. This dive is an advanced dive because of the depth, air management, and the navigation skills needed.
Dive 3: Drop in east of the point marked on map you will find a pipeline heading Southwest-west. You can follow the pipe to the end and back getting as deep as 70 ft. A nice dive with a lot to look at.
There are even more dives here in this area but these are my top three that I've found out here so far.

Great dive site to view baracuda and goliath grouper, also lots of jacks, box fish, and gobies when I dove it. Must be an advanced diver to dive this site due to the depth and this being a large wreck. Must make more than one trip to cover this large ship. Countless variety of coral, sponges and other life on this wreck. Overall, great dive with lots of photo opportunities. You should have a flash if you want to take good pictures since the depth, clarity, and possibility of wanting to take a photo while swimming through part of the structure necessitates better lighting.

This is a beach dive. Depth is 22 feet or less. Wild life is very good I have seen eels, crabs, sting rays, manatees, sponges and more. The only down side to this site is that it needs to be done at high tide, and you have to watch out for fishermen. ( trying to get that changed )

The roped off area of the refuge had markers with cables anchoring it. Early one morning one of the manatees was using one of the anchor cables to scratch his belly with. Seems that they do really enjoy having their bellys scratched and maybe the Save the Manatee Club with their left wing Obama loving Jimmy Buffett need to keep their Nazi volunteers away from the snorkelers.
