What to know
Redondo is where many local divers got their start. Entry from the beach is easy, there are facilities on site, and a lot of Puget Sound classes run here.
Look closely: nudibranchs are everywhere, and an occasional octopus or sixgill shark sighting keeps people coming back.
Watch the water on large exchanges. Short, sudden currents sometimes appear at the start or end of a big ebb, so look before you commit.
