Does anyone know if there is any good diving at Marilyn Nelson park off Port William road at mouth of Sequim Bay?

Have not dove there. But based on the NOAA charted depths (shallow slope into a vast field of ~70ft sand), and pictures of the shoreline (gravel) I would not expect much...

It sounds like may be ok for training classes, if the currents good.

Or looking for little things... There's no current station near there. There is a big current stream in-out of Sequim bay, although I've only 'ridden' it in a boat.
