Protected beginner shore cove in Seattle
Seacrest Cove 2 is a protected Seattle shore cove with a beginner-friendly entry, an artificial-structure reef profile, and a lot of room for patient wildlife watching. It is a practical choice for divers who are comfortable with a rocky beach entry, cold-water exposure, and a busy local park setting, and it rewards calm buoyancy more than speed or depth chasing.
