Comber Rock
Why dive here
With 58+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Comber Rock offers some of Alaska's richest pinnacle diving. Water ranges 5-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
Comber Rock in Alaska delivers a raw, rugged dive, truly Alaskan. We found ourselves surrounded by thick kelp forests, a deep green against the dark rock. Keep an eye out for the red salmon, particularly during their run, and the sidestriped shrimp tucked into crevices. It’s a cool water experience, ideal for divers who appreciate the subtler beauty of a northern ecosystem rather than the flash of a coral reef.
