Jorsted Creek is a shore accessible salt water dive site, located in Hoodsport, WA. This dive site has an average rating of 3.00 out of 5 from 1 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 121-130ft/37-40m. The average visibility is 5-10ft/2-3m.
Gear-up in the parking area and walk down a fairly steep hill for shore access to the canal. There’s a 250-300’ surface swim to the North wall; not sure on the depth but it’s no problem to hit 100 FSW and deeper if you so wish. There’s also a small rock structure 90 degrees from the entry point. The animal life is abundant, Wolf Eel’s, spotted Rat Fish, GPO’s, Nudibranch’s and much more. This site is only dove by the hearty because of the steepness of the hill. Tide and current are of little concern at this site on Hood Canal. Small turnoff on HWY 101; room for three or four cars only.
