Client Reefs
Why dive here
With 58+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Client Reefs offers some of Alaska's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 5-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
Client Reefs in Alaska offers a chilly but rewarding dive. You'll likely be in a drysuit, watching for the resident spiny dogfish cruising by, or maybe a curious slender sole on the seafloor. We’ve spotted fat sweet potato sea cucumbers in the cracks, sometimes with a four-spined squat lobster peeking out. It's a dive for those who appreciate the cooler waters and the unique, rugged beauty of the North Pacific.
