    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.

    Safety Notes

    Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.

    Cold water this month (avg 11°C). Drysuit or thick wetsuit (7mm+) recommended.
