Madrona Wall, Lk Washington 7/6/16

Post by Echo »

i had heard about the Madrona Wall a while back and last night I decided that I would go look for it. First off, if trying to attempt this, the entry through the swim area when the lifeguards are on duty will cause issues. On Planyourdive it said that the wall starts to slope down around 30ft. I ran into it at 65ft. The overall structure is pretty amazing and it just goes and goes and goes. It drops down to 200ft from what I understand and wished I had a rebreather. I found several old bottles and about 4lbs of crawfish (invasive species make a fine meal :burntchef: ). Overal was a cool dive and I would go back with a better plan now that I know how it works

about 180-200ft depending where you are on it. The best parts of the dive are within recreational depths.

- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

Sounds tasty! There have been plenty of Dungeness crab so far as well. Boiled w/ sea water & beer, plus some potatoes & corn on the cob.

It's been a dozen years but IIRC we also used to enter at E Lee St. Go East till your at the depth you want and head north toward Madison St.
