Im an Alaskan resident and have lived here for 30+ years. I am interested in diving and spearfishing. I was certified 8 years ago, but only dive on vacations so I have a lot to learn about it. I went to a local dive shop several years ago and was not impressed with the response I recieved. I reciently went on a vacation on the big Island, Hi and ran into the nicesest divers who shared my interests and gave me inspiration to look into diving here around Anchorage area again.
