Mudsharks
Cold, green water, and the people who love it.
The Mudsharks are a Puget Sound dive club based in Federal Way. We meet dive buddies, plan shore dives and keep diving through the winter.
What the club is for
The Mudsharks give divers a reason to get together and get excited about diving. The club hosts events, talks from diving professionals, and trips to little-known dive sites.
It is based at Underwater Sports, a PADI 5-Star dive center in Federal Way.
Where we dive
Seven Puget Sound shore sites, from sheltered Alki Cove to the Tacoma Narrows current at Day Island Wall. Each page lists depth, current, entry and who the site suits.
