Scuba Diving in California

Are you new to cold water diving?  Perhaps you haven't been diving in awhile?  Maybe you simply want to relax knowing you have a professional buddy who will navigate you around our waters and insure you see everything our waters offer.

We provide private instructor guides to insure you enjoy the transition to our colder waters, so you can relax and dive worry free, maximizing your enjoyment underwater.

The cost for a private instructor guide is based on the number of divers. 

1 diver - $200

2 divers - $250

3 divers - $325

4 divers - $400

You must also purchase a boat spot for your guide(s).

Boat trips are all day excursions.  Plan to be out 6am to 4pm typically.

The California boats do not provide guides to tour divers around underwater.  We offer private instructor guides as one of our services.  Price $200 - 400 depending on # of divers in your group.

Single day boat trips are 2 or 3 tank dives with breakfast, lunch and snacks included.   One boat does not provide any food.

 The cost to book a spot on most boats run $175-200 per diver.  If you need to rent gear it is @$75-90 per diver.

Trips normally run on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays.  

Do you want to see what beach diving can offer?  

Do you only have a half day to spare during your visit?  

Local beach diving can provide you the opportunity to do 1 or 2 dives and still make that afternoon appointment.

We offer private guided beach dives on Saturday or Sunday.   Price is $200 for 1 or 2 divers, we do not provide rental gear. 

You can expect to see small interesting creatures like pipefish, angel sharks, octopus, rays, crabs, sea stars and other invertebrates.
