Extreme Way to See a Lesser Known Part of Alaska

Resurrection Bay is one of the most fascinating and bountiful bodies of water in the world, making it a popular site for diving. If you want a safe, organized way to experience the thrill of diving in Alaska, book an adventure with Dive Alaska. Full-day dive packages are available and include two dives. You can also schedule a package that includes equipment rental such as a boat, dry suit, weights, tanks, and a computer. There are no more than 12 divers on each trip, so you will receive individualized attention. The boat Dive Alaska patrons use is a 43-foot charter vessel that has a heated cabin, bathroom, and plenty of room for changing. From the time you board the boat, it takes about an hour to reach the dive site. Divers are invited to bring snacks onto the boat. You will cruise through Kenai Fjords National Park to the site and dive into water that ranges from the high 40's to 60 degrees in late summer. It is strongly recommended that divers where dry suits year-round. Divers can expect to see a diverse collection of sea life including anemones, tube worms, sea stars, sponge, jelly fish, algae, rockfish, lingcod, kelps, sculpin, and a variety of other invertebrates. Divers occasionally see wolf eels, sea lions, octopus, and salmon. Dive Alaska offers winter diving experiences in Whittier at Smitty's Cove.
