FYI: Lots of poison oak is in the area. That's the reason for the difficulty rating.
This cache is located in the Sund Rock marine preserve. It's the first cache in Mason County. With the placement of this cache, all Western Washington counties contain a geocache.
I'm not a scuba diver, but from what I've read, Sund Rock is one of the best dive sites in the state. Otterboy describes it at http://www.seaotter.com/marine/html/sund.html as follows:
Sund Rock is located on the south west side of Hood's Canal, just north of Hoodsport. Sund Rock is one of my favorite shore dive locations in the Puget Sound area because of the structure and excellent abundance of marine life that always frequents this location. As this site is situated down the canal a ways, currents here are not intense and visibility can be outstanding (it can be terrible, too!). In fact, we had a dive here in 2000 where we had vis that approached 80 feet, the best I have ever experienced in the Puget Sound area.
Unfortunately, this is another super popular dive site that tends to get totally pounded by divers on weekends. For that reason, I only dive this site during the week, and rarely see other divers.
...
The southern access is not well marked, although there are some signed nailed to a few trees along the road here that designate this area as the Sund Rock Marine Preserve. I always know I am getting near this site when I pass the "Holiday Beach" sign along the road. The pull-out for this dive site is just over the next small hill from this sign... The pull-out is just big enough to fit about five cars.
