Site Details

Les Davis Pier is a shore-accessible saltwater dive site, located at Ruston Way, Tacoma, WA. This is a great site for new and experienced divers, offering ample parking, concessions, and restrooms on-site. The artificial reefs here provide a variety of life, making it excellent for photographers. Beach entry is made easy via a new concrete stairway.

It’s a very popular site and has many of the scrapped pieces from the old Tacoma Narrows Bridge dumped there, creating a nice artificial reef. While lots of classes often take place here, it’s still not too crowded. It also makes a great place for night diving.
