any scuba divers here?

I never tried it I have friends who dive on vacation.

I guess you have to have a dry suit to dive in Alaska.

I don't even swim anymore.

I drowned once. Don't want to do that again. So I won't take the chance.

You definitely need a dry suit in Alaska. I did an underwater inspection job for the USCG in Kodiak and even in a dry suit, your fingers get numb after about an hour underwater. Can you say BRRRRR?!

However, the cold water is full of nutrients, so the amount of marine life underwater is spectacular.

We always have dive gear on the boat and spend a lot of our free time diving cold water wrecks and warm water caves.

I brought the gear down to the boat but I haven't dove off her yet. I was all set up to go a month ago or so to check the anchor and fool around but I ripped the zipper out of the wetsuit so it didn't happen.

Going to Truk Lagoon January 13th. Can't wait!
