Keystone Jetty - Whidbey Island, Washington

A go-to location for giant Pacific octopus encounters, this Whidbey Island site 30 minutes north of Seattle is also prime ground for spotting well-camouflaged red Irish lords, cod, kelp and big schools of rockfish. Unless you’re a pro at handling strong currents and extreme tides, it’s best to dive the jetty with a local guide.Local Dive Guide: Cold Water, Beginner Dives, Big Animals, Guide Needed, Winter Trip
