Undersea Adventures

“Speedboat“ dive. This river dive is a great moderate advanced dive. The climax of this dive is at on old piston driven speedboat that sunk many years ago. Not much of the boat is surviving other than the large engine and bright chrome exhaust headers.

This is the Training Pool for UnderSea Adventures, Kennewick WA. Access needs to be pre-arranged with the Dive Shop unless you are in a Scuba Class with a designated start time.

Advanced drift dive with moderate visibility. Even with bright daylight, it is dark and a good dive light is always recommended. Boat traffic at the marina can be a hazard and divers need to watch carefully. The exit is near the base of the 182 bridge.

The pin for this site marks the exit point for this drift dive in the Columbia River. The starting point is at Howard Amon Park off of Newton Street at the Scuba Dive Park. The quality of this dive is very dependent on the river flow, turbidity, temperature and boat traffic. The average maximum depth is 45 feet.

Drift dive in the center of Richland with a back eddy to return to the start location. Start swimming straight out from shore until the current picks up, head downstream to the 2“ steel cable, using it to return towards shore until the current reverses in the eddy (15’). Then let it bring you back.

Local diving hole just outside of Mesa. 4 wheel drive with ground clearance recommended to drive in. Easy shore entry, expect 10-15 foot visibility if you stay out of the mud
