Our Mission
We continually pursue education to increase the skills of the Dive Team to better serve our community.
Dispatch San Juan County comprises 172 pristine islands, known worldwide as the jewels of the State of Washington. These islands, clustered near the border of British Columbia, Canada, attract visitors from every part of the world. Our waters carry major shipping traffic by freighter between the United States and Canada in addition to traffic from recreational boaters.
San Juan County is experiencing a steady degradation of the habitats from a number of sources such as discharges from commercial shipping with the cargoes of crude oil, refined petroleum products and the strong tidal currents of 3 major marine channels causing amateur skippers of pleasure craft to collide with treacherous rocks, reefs and other underwater hazards.
