Pacific Quest Dive Center

This is a popular dive site for divers in both Northern California and Oregon. Charlie Drive or Early Hole is the name of this deep hole on a bend of the Smith River. This is a river dive so current is possible but during summer months is usually not too strong.

Easy entry from the beach. Great diving to the left and right side of the bay. A little bit of a swim is needed to reach the good diving area but well worth it. Great for beginner beach entry. Viz can be low at times form 5-15ft.

The main dive site is out and to the left of the beach. Entry is via beach or bolder crawling. Max depth is about 50-60ft. Good for advanced and higher divers.

Parking is limited and located on the edge of a narrow road so be sure to park outside the white line. A steep trail leads to a popular location for swimmers and divers alike. A small beach provides a staging area or you can cross the river to a larger beach. This is a river dive so current is possible.
