潜水点介绍

There is excellent diving in front of the Sealife Center downtown. You have a number of possible entries, the most direct of which is a giant stride off the sea wall. Check the tides - you get more bottom time at low tide, but you need to find an alternate entry. The water near the sea wall is only about 30-35 feet deep at high tide, and at low tide there are places on the wall with a 15 foot drop to the water. It’s easy to lose a mask, regulator, or even a BC. Worse, you can end up hitting the mud on entry. If the tide is low, rather than tempting fate just walk around the wall and into the water over the boulders.Apparently the Alaska Steamship Company warehouse was washed into the ocean at this site by a tsunami that followed the 1964 earthquake. There are plenty of neat things to check out as a result, including "caves" that resulted from glacial silt and other detritus settling on top of pieces of the warehouse. I would not penetrate any of these caves - they are not stable. Also, watch out for wildlife in the area. There are some sea lions, including at least one old bull that lives right near the interesting stuff. Finally, be aware that there is a ledge running roughly parallel to the sea wall at about 35-40 feet. The interesting stuff is deeper. When you go over the ledge, you can quickly become disoriented. I don’t know how deep it will go, but it goes deeper than I will. Watch your gauges and be aware, just like diving a blue hole.
