'After walking down the grass slope and trail to the beach, you can setup your gear on the many logs under a small wooden shelter. Sunrise is very current sensitive and can only be safely dived approximately 90 minutes before slack flood at the Tacoma Narrows.
The current normally is always flows northward, even on the flood, but at that time a back eddy sets up. The tide exchange difference needs to be about 4-6 feet between low and high tide as well as for the eddy to set up and the currents not to be too strong. The eddy doesn't set up on too low of an exchange, and strong currents can be encountered. It can be a bit tricky to figure out; don't be afraid to ask local divers when to enter the water.
After you gear up, walk down the beach to your right towards a row of houses. The public beach boundary is well-marked by a sign; when you come to it, walk out in the shallow water along the beach until you get a nearly horizontal pine tree in front of a blue-grey house. This marks the place to enter the water. Swim out about 50 feet to the top of the upper wall.
If after descending, you come down the slope an don't see the short wall area at around 35-45 feet, continue along horizontally north or south until you find it. Do NOT go deeper.
Be careful of the currents away from the wall area; the slopes have no cover and it's easy to get blown off the dive site. Watch your air consumption and time. When the current picks up and reverses north, come back up into shallow water at the top of the wall, and work your way up to the beach. Often currents are less, or reversed, on the surface in the shallows.
Do NOT surface over the wall, currents will tend to carry you north and away from the beach. Boat traffic is a consideration too.' - Experience Washington by Washington State Tourism
Sunrise Beach Park is an undeveloped 82 acre scenic site in the Peninsula area with over 2,400 feet of waterfront on Colvos Passage just north of Gig Harbor. This Marine Preserve, is a popular diving destination with a unique wall dive in a high current area that supports large animals used to human presence. Although a relative small area, the system of small outcroppings continues from a kelp-forested wall at 35 feet down to a second wall at 80 feet and a series of many smaller outcroppings.
Sunrise Beach is a narrow park running down a long grassy hill to the beach. Half way down to the beach are a few picnic tables to have a refreshing snack or take in the majestic view.
