Why dive here
With 58+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Mountain Point offers some of Alaska's richest diving. Water ranges 5-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
Mountain Point offers a glimpse into Alaska's unique cold-water diving. Expect to find a rocky landscape, home to lingcod, rockfish, and perhaps a giant Pacific octopus tucked away. The currents here can be robust, so it's a spot best appreciated by those comfortable with drift diving and managing colder conditions. It's a solid choice for divers keen on temperate marine life without the crowds of more tropical locales.
Safety Notes
