I would like to pass this to all fellow divers who like to dive the Fingers from the shore.
The rule did not change, we are still required to call the park ranger 24 hours before
we plan to dive there. We had some difficulties with access to the beach via the
"Authorized Vehicles Only" in the past and we negotiated with the park service that
we will call 24 hours prior the dive to ask for permission to drive down, unload and
then park up in the parking lot. I was reminded of it today (May 20, 2013) although I did
not dive there. Kevin, the park ranger who lives there, but works also in the South Whidbey
State Park is a very nice guy and I would like to keep him happy, for I love that place too
and it is a long haul for my old bones to carry gear down when I return to diving again.
So please, lets not abuse the good will and call him before you plan to dive there.
Thank you.
360 929 3191 at least 24 hours prior to dive.

Re: Possession Point Fingers access
I cannot confirm if the others called or not, I know tat in the past when I joined Whidbey Island Dive Center outing there, Pete, who is the instructor there always informed the ranger beforehand. If they did this time, I don't know since I am still dry. Too dry :(H20doctor wrote:well when i was diving there saturday , we were not alone , there was 6 other divers there from whidbey island dive center.. 2 of them were instructors from the shop.. so im not sure if they called ? ... also there was no one home at the ranger house on saturday.. hope that clears up the delema ..

Yup, it is a long way down - pushing a cart uphill makes it even longer
