Kindakun Rock
Why dive here
With 58+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Kindakun Rock offers some of Alaska's richest diving. Water ranges 5-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
Kindakun Rock, up in the Alaskan waters, is a dive that really reminds you where you are. We’re talking cool, clear water and rugged rocky slopes dropping off into the Strait. You’ll spend your bottom time cruising these rock faces, keeping an eye out for the resident creatures. Think big sunflower stars clinging to the rocks and the occasional flash of a Spiny Dogfish or even a Brown Catshark slipping through the deeper sections. For those who appreciate the wilder, less tropical side of diving, it’s a genuinely engaging spot. Keep an eye on the surface, too; northern fulmars and glaucous-winged gulls are usually circling overhead.
