My girlfriend and I will be in AK (Anchorage) for the week before Xmas, and I'm wondering if there's any diving to be done in the area. We'd love to do an ice diving class if possible, but assuming we can hit the ocean, that'd also be something we're interested in. How cold is the water that time of year? I'll be diving MA waters in the upper 40s, she'll be used to the CA waters in the lower 50s. Is the diving worth lugging our drysuits across the country, or should we just hold off till we both get to CA come the new year? Thanks!
