I did shore diving in Juneau Alaska a few years ago. I called ahead and arranged for a DM from Channel Divers to go with us. Viz was good, 20-50 feet according to my log book. Saw a lot of sea life, went face to face with a sea lion, huge octopus, the fish are are either brown or gray, no colorful fish like in the Carib. Very different from anything I was accustom to. I was told it would take a couple of hours to go out to a wreck. Since there was only 2 of us diving the cost was way to expensive to charter a boat. Even though Juneau has moderate temps, the water is cold but not as cold as Lake Michigan at the end of summer. I would recomend a dry suit. I have read about diving in Anchorage, I'm sure it is a lot colder but would like to try it some day.

People always ask me if I dive in Prudhoe Bay...
Crazy people, why would I put myself into the polar bears hunting ground???????

Diving in Alaska can be spectacular.
It can be cold at various points of the year, but for the folks who dive it continuously throughout the year it is no big shakes.

p.s. I also know there are a few shipwrecks here in there. Check out Alaska Shipwreck History, Diving and Research
