    How is diving in Alaska?

    As an underwater photographer and an aspiring videographer, I am interested in diving some of the most remote places in the world. When I was in Alaska filming a documentary in the arctic, I was wondering what kind of diving would this place have to offer? My understanding was that it is an area where diving has not been explored much. I just wanted to get in touch with you folks in Alaska to know if there are any good places to dive in Alaska? If someone can give me an overview of what has been explored and what remains to be explored ...

    who knows, I may end up there with my scuba gear someday

    There are three main shops in Anchorage. All have websites.
    Dive Alaska
    Last Frontier Diving
    Sunshine Sports (Terry, akscubaduck1, works at this one)

    All are good shops with great people willing to give advice and help out.
