Want to become a CERTIFIED DIVER?

Diving is personal. It is a personal experience that changes lives. You will not be the same person after learning to dive as you were before. The nice thing about diving is that it is also very social. Sharing the experience of diving together can make friends for life. Come discover another world! Learn how to become weightless as you glide through kelp forests and explore local marine life. Our knowledgeable and experienced instructors will guide you through the course materials and then take you into our heated pool to practice skills and have fun. Then hop on one of our friendly and comfortable dive boats to start your Ocean Adventures. Your first step is the Open Water Diver Course.

Want to further your SCUBA DIVE education?

To become a certified diver is only the beginning of your scuba adventures. The Advanced Course will help you to become a better diver and builds more confidence. Anywhere you go diving, dive operators will recognize your competence and more likely take you to better dive spots than they would take new divers.  During the Advanced Open Water Diver Course you will complete five advanced dives over two days. It gives you the opportunity to open up new areas of diving: Deep Diving, Wreck Diving, Underwater Navigation, diving with Enriched Air Nitrox, Photography, Videography, Fish Identification, fine tuning your buoyancy skills are just some of the areas which are waiting for you to discover.

Already a diver, but haven't been diving for a while?Maybe you have a trip coming up and you want to make sure you remember how to set-up your gear or just simply not comfortable getting back into the water without brushing up on the dive table. Take the Refresher Course before your next dive.

California Diving
Los Angeles County has way more to offer to locals and travelers than Hollywood bars, the Venice Beach side-walk or Malibu clubs. Southern California has a climate that not too many places have in the World, making diving a year-around activity for the enthusiasts. Although diving conditions are more challenging in California than in tropical waters, the reward of swimming trough giant kelp forests will compensate any diver for the cool water temperature.
