Crescent City
This city has a greater variety of dive sites and occasionally clearer water. The southern jetty enclosing Crescent City harbor, also known as Whaler Island, offers some diving on clear water days. The north spit, which passes the Crescent City Lighthouse, offers a few dive sites as well, but is less protected. Enderts Beach, accessible from Highway 101 at the end of Enderts Beach Road offers an expanse of tide pools at low tide.Most of downtown Crescent City was destroyed in 1964 when a Tsunami, caused by an earthquake in Anchorage, Alaska, sent twelve foot waves as far as 1600 feet inland. The town has been rebuilt in the intervening 33 years, of course, but there are still plenty of stories about the disaster on display in local tourist areas.
Remember that the north Coast is a very different kind of diving; please check the conditions before entering the water.
