Washington Scuba Alliance
How do you come together and share a resource?
Board meetings, club meetings to promote scuba diving interests here in Puget Sound. Work with State agencies, County agencies and even cities to protect and or enhance historical dives sites.
How would your group use the award money?
We have had enough donations to place 5 permanent buoys at sites here in Puget Sound. There are nine more sites that need buoys. Each Buoy costs $3200. By placing permanent buoys we are protecting the underwater habitat from anchor damage. These buoys can even be used by any boater who wants to avoid dropping an anchor to fish in one spot.

Hi,
I am new to the area (living in Kirkland) and am unfamiliar with your club. Do you meet regularly for group dives? If so, I would like you to consider my membership. I am a former commercial (air and saturation/mixed-gas)diver and have been a licensed scuba diver for 30 years. I have a 290 Sundancer at Carillon Point Marina that would be well-suited for a group no larger than 6. Please contact me with some info. Thanks.

Great effort. Hope this gets one of the awards. I have been diving for over 10 years world wide and have seen what an anchor can do.

Karlista, this looks awesome! I like how you show what damage to the habitat an anchor can do.

Hi Gary,
We’re not a dive club per se, but more an organization to promote diving in the NW. Visit our website at http://www.wascuba.org for more info. If you’re looking for an active club in your area, Moss Bay Dive Club is worth checking into.
