Scuba diver in Alaska kelp forest

Guided Dive Trips

Alaska. Below the Surface.

Divemaster-led expeditions into the cold, kelp-rich waters of Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Peninsula. Certified divers only.

Diving Alaska With a Local

Alaska's waters are cold, dark, and absolutely alive. Kachemak Bay is one of the most biologically productive estuaries in the world — giant Pacific octopus, wolf eels, rockfish, nudibranchs, sea otters, and kelp forests that go on forever. Joel has dived these waters hundreds of times and knows where the life is.

What to Expect

Divemaster-Led

Every trip is led by Joel, a PADI Divemaster with extensive local knowledge of Kachemak Bay and surrounding Kenai Peninsula sites.

Certified Divers Only

You must hold a valid scuba certification to participate in guided dive trips. Bring your certification card — it will be verified.

Cold Water Conditions

Alaska water temperatures typically range from 38–52°F. A drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) is strongly recommended. Bring your own gear, or contact us — we work with Dive Alaska in Anchorage to help coordinate rentals.

Flexible Scheduling

Trips are scheduled around tides, weather, and your availability. Contact us to discuss dates, sites, and group size.

Dive Sites

We dive where the conditions and marine life are best. Sites vary by season, tides, and visibility. Here are some of the areas we regularly explore.

Kachemak Bay

One of the most productive marine environments in Alaska. Kelp forests, rocky reefs, and an extraordinary diversity of cold-water species.

Homer Area

Shore and boat dives accessible from Homer. Great for all experience levels of certified divers.

Kenai Peninsula

Expanded range of sites across the peninsula. Conditions and access vary — contact us to discuss options.
