The Snorkel Alaska van was spotted this morning at the Trees of Mystery on US Highway 101 in far Northern California. I had a great visit to my Alma Mater Humboldt State University where my career in diving began. Great reunion with old friends. North to Alaska!

I was contacted by a guy from Long Island who wanted to do some free diving while he was visiting Ketchikan this weekend. We had a really rare break in the storms and a really nice “dive” yesterday! Thanks Nick for getting me back in the water one last time.

Snorkeling in Alaska???

The Mountain Point Snorkeling Adventure is available on all major cruise lines that stop in Ketchikan. Pictured above is the 2017 team of Snorkel Alaska guides and staff. Snorkel Alaska opened it’s doors in May 0f 2001 by company owner Fred Drake who always dreamed of having his own business. Fred grew up in the water and has been a PADI SCUBA Instructor for almost 30 years. His love of the ocean and SCUBA diving started on a family trip to Bermuda in 1978. That is where we obtained his PADI Open Water Diver certification from Bermuda legend, Dave McCleod. Fred attended Humboldt State University in Arcata, California where he continued is dive training and graduated with a degree in Recreation Administration. From there it was off to the high seas with a position aboard Norwegian Cruise Line as a Dive In Instructors leading cruise ship passengers on snorkeling excursions in every port of call. NCL sent it’s first ship to Alaska on 1994 and Fred along with two other Dive In staff formed the Dive In to Adventure Program which included snorkeling in Ketchikan. After 7 years of ship life, Fred settled down in Ketchikan to open Snorkel Alaska and offer snorkeling tours to all the cruise lines. 17 years later Snorkel Alaska has grown to employ 9 seasonal staff members and take thousands of people snorkeling in Alaska each year.
