One or two charter boats. Some folks take water taxis and do beach dives off the island. Can't say about the beach diving at Seward, I have not done it, prefer whittier as it is closer, but kind of green sometimes during the summer. By the way, there are no dive shops in Seward that I am aware of, so you will have to make your arrangements with shops in anchorage. Try last Frontier Diving or Dive Alaska in Anchorage. Both have many summer charters out of Seward. tc_rain February 11th, 2007, 12:08 PM The diving out of Seward in July is quite good. One or two charter boats.

I guess I will take my gear with me then SteveKL February 25th, 2007, 10:54 PM Summer diving in Resurrection bay can be excellent, with good vis and lots of life. But to get there, you need to boat a ways out of town, at least as far as Fox Island and beyond. The silty glacial run-off close to the town of Seward pretty much precludes shore diving during summer months. Go ahead and check with the two shops mentioned previously, and get an idea of pricing, scheduling, and available gear rental (they both have quality equipment). You didn't say whether you are drysuit certified; if not, better get that training before your Alaska visit. Expect water temps in July of between 46-54 F. Have a great trip! ~Steve www.LostShipwrecks.com tc_rain February 26th, 2007, 10:43 PM I plan on bringing my drysuit with me. UWupnorth February 27th, 2007, 06:30 PM Here is a link to Dive Alaska web site http://www.divealaska.net/. If you plan to do a boat dive in July, you should plan ahead and reserve a spot early because space is limited. There is some really great diving up here that time of the year. The weekend of the 4th of July in Seward is really packed with people so rooms are in short supply also. let me know if you need any more info.
