Rage Reefs
Why dive here
With 58+ marine species recorded in the area - including blue sharks, blue whales, humpback whales, orcas and seals & sea lions - Rage Reefs offers some of Alaska's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 5-15°C, warmest July, August, September.
Rage Reefs offers a solid Alaskan dive, a true cold-water experience for those willing to gear up. We’ve found the true draw here isn't necessarily dramatic topography, but rather the sheer density of fish life, especially during the salmon runs. You'll often spot Pink and Coho salmon finning past, sometimes in such numbers it feels like a freshwater river, not the ocean. Keep an eye out for the big benthic dwellers too, the Sunflower stars are impressive, and we’ve seen some hefty Big Skates cruising the bottom. It's a site that rewards patience and a keen eye for the smaller, tougher critters that thrive in these northern waters.
