Great contact for diving in Tacoma, and great prices! I had non-diving friends move to Tacoma, and…read morefinally got the chance to visit from out of state. I was looking for a guided dive and had never been in open saltwater before. It was a bit of a last minute trip, and the shop was really really good about working with me to match me with a buddy, and had cheaper rental prices than all the other places I checked. Professional and easy to work with. I dove with Allen Raphael, and he was wonderful! Incredibly helpful, attentive to any questions I had, and was incredibly fun and knowledgeable about what we were seeing. I was also a little nervous, and he had a very easygoing calm personality while managing to get all the little details just right. I felt super safe and free to enjoy the dive, and he went the extra mile to work with me and my limitations, (no car, no place to dry gear overnight etc.) Lots of amazing sea critters too, lungfish, rockfish, nudibranchs, flounder, crabs and starfish of all sizes, sea cucumbers, anemone's...you'd never guess it's all down there by looking at the coast, and it's mostly all okay to touch! So incredible. Fantastic to work with, and we've already picked out the dives for my return trip!

Probably my favorite lake for a simple day of boating. It's not the largest lake in the area, but…read moreit's plenty large enough. There's always something going on, from groups of people learning to sail small boats, to regular boaters enjoying the sun, sea plans coming and going, and the usual paddle boarders. The thing I like the most is the convenience for boating. Plenty of room for many boats, but not so large that the waves cause too much boat rocking. Have you tried to just relax on puget sound or lake washington, not happening unless you find specific coves. We'll lake union is like a huge cove of calm water. To make things better, there's random amenities such as restaurants, parks, and gas station / convenient stores. All of which you can dock your boat and enjoy. Also spots to pick friends up. I don't know of many other lakes in the pnw that offer all of this for boaters.

There is plenty of free street parking for cars (the associated paved lot here is pay-by-phone, but…read moreI think it's reserved for people who are actively using the boat ramp/on the water as this is one of the most popular saltwater boat ramps due to proximity to salmon fishing spots). Launch permits are required here. There's a public restroom here as well which was pretty clean when I visited. The view of Seattle's skyline across Elliott Bay is very pretty here. When I visited there were a bunch of photographers and people walking around enjoying the day. There were also a lot of car lovers parked here posing with their cars and hanging out. Interesting spot to choose to gather, but really adds to the atmosphere! They weren't bothering anyone and the park wasn't particularly busy. I'm sure they would let you take photos of their cars too if you wanted.

I feel very fortunate to have found Underwater Sports in Federal Way. I have been snorkeling for…read moredecades and wanted to get SCUBA certified for a very long time. With an upcoming trip to Baja Sur, I decided this was the time and was initially looking at outfits in Mexico when I just so happened to check local prices here in the PNW. I was surprised to find that Underwater Sports offered the most affordable PADI certification I had seen, half the cost of some dive companies in Baja. When I went to check out the shop, I was immediately impressed with the staff, who were all friendly, knowledgeable, & passionate about diving. It felt right, so I booked the Open Water Diver course. This proved to be a very good decision as our instructor, Jaiden, and her assisting Dive Masters (Frank & Jason) were all equally skilled, friendly, and engaging. I thoroughly enjoyed the course. It was professional but never stiff. I was confident that Jaiden and our Dive Masters always knew what they were doing and had our safety as their top priority, but they also were very relatable and easy to talk to. The experience was an entirely positive one, from beginning to end, and while I was already certain that I would love diving, I am now equally certain that I have found a community that I will continue to share that love with. I highly recommend Underwater Sports in Federal Way for anyone interested in crossing over to the other side of the water's surface. It's a beautiful world down there & you couldn't do much better than having the Fed Way crew introduce you to it.
