June 5th and 6th - San Juan Island

[FlyinV]

I am staying with a group for a couple boat dives on San Juan Island June 5th and 6th.
Are there any sites someone can suggest for a Friday night (June 4th) or Saturday night (June 5th) on the island for a shore dive?

Some protected cove where we can just get a night dive in without too much hassle or worry.
We are all experienced divers but don't want to get swept out to sea

I would suggest either Deadman Bay or County Park.

County park has a easy entry to a shallow bay. It's not the most exciting dive but probably fits your criteria. Check in advance to make sure the park is open at night.

Deadman Bay could have some slight current but it's not super current sensitive. It's a bit of a walk from the road down to the dive site.

By far the best shore dive on the island is Lime Kiln but I wouldn't do it as a night dive.

You could also ask Kurt from Naknek charters to take you out to research wall, which is just outside Friday Harbour.
