Diving off Kodiak Island?

[anarekey2000]

Hi all, I plan on being in Kodiak in either July or August and would like to do some diving. I have an AOW cert and about 50 dives but no tech experience so the Aleutian is probably out. Is there anything else to dive up there? Anyone know any good shops? I have a dry suit c-card and some north Atlantic dives; does everyone dive dry up there and can I rent a drysuit? Sorry about all the questions. Thanks.

As far as I know, Kodiak does not have a dive shop. To find out for sure, contact Loic at Last Frontier Diving in Anchorage at 907-222-6706 or off the webpage http://www.lastfrontierdiving.com/ I know he has done some diving down on Kodiak and could be a good source to talk to for local knowledge.

Check the thread for info about diving out in Unalaska out in the Aleutians. I just found out from reading it that there is a group that dives out there, which was news to me. I might try to get out there soon myself.

Most everyone up here dives dry. There are several shops in Anchorage and others around the state that rent equipment.

Hope you find what you are looking for. This is a great place for everything including the diving.

I'm transferring to Kodiak this summer, and am optimistically lugging my scuba stuff up there.

You might ask the RS's at the AIRSTA about what diving there is - they ought to know if anyone. Enjoy your tour.
