Sund Rock is a designated conservation area[1] on the U.S. state of Washington's Hood Canal. The area is known for abundant and diverse life, including but not limited to Lingcod, Giant Pacific Octopus, Wolf Eel, as well as nudibranch, anemone, and sea cucumber. The area is well known to regional scuba divers, especially for its two major walls, known colloquially as the north and south walls. These walls have depths {{convert|70|to|80|ft|m}}, depending upon the tide. Several other walls exist, some going down beyond {{convert|100|ft|m}} in depth. One of these is called "fish pen wall." Additional features include the "fish bowl"—a reef-like area full of life—a large sunken boat just to the north of the north wall, and a small wrecked boat between the north and south walls. Recreational and technical divers alike find Sund Rock attractive for various reasons. Recreational divers appreciate Sund Rock because it is not a current-sensitive area, the main walls are easily within recreational dive limits, and for abundant sea life. Technical divers enjoy the deeper walls and other areas that allow them to dive well beyond recreational limits. Because Sund Rock is a conservation area, no hunting or gathering of any kind is permitted. Two ways exist of entering the waters in the area. The "free" way involves a somewhat steep but short hike and surface swim of {{convert|250|to|600|m|ft}}. The better way is to access a private beach nearby. The gate is open during the summer on Saturday and Sunday from 9am-4pm. There is a $15/head charge collected as you enter, cash or card is acceptable payment. To access outside of these hours (during week or night dive) you can contact cindyATsundsonhoodcanal.com with when you want access. The boundaries of the area are
