🐙 Underwater Highlights & Exposure Gear Recommendations

• Water Conditions: Expect our typical cold-water PNW environment with water temperatures sitting right around 51°F.
• Exposure Protection: Appropriate thermal protection is strongly encouraged—a drysuit (with warm undergarments) or a thick 7mm wetsuit with hood and gloves is recommended for full-day and multi-day diving.
• Marine Life & Features: Keep an eye out along the seawall and slopes for Giant Pacific Octopus, wolf eels, colorful plumose anemones, rockfish, sea lemons, and rich local life!

🏨 Accommodations & Resort Fees

• Resort Rooms: Book directly through Sunrise Resort, or reach out to Doc for help booking.
• Day Divers / Shore Access: Divers not staying on-site should be prepared for a $20/day Beach/Shore fee (+ tax) payable directly to the resort upon checkout.

💨 Air Fills & Cylinder Logistics

• Compressor Status: Resort compressor status is currently TBD. We will update this page as details become available.
• Cylinder Advice: Divers are encouraged to bring extra filled cylinders with them. If the resort compressor remains down or struggling, be prepared to make a short trip south to YSS Dive for fills.
