Top tier life experience. If you’re within a 200 mile radius of Ventura harbor, this boat is a must. Captain and crew are a great time and highly knowledgeable. They will take you to some of the coolest places this planet has to offer. Not to mention, the moment you step aboard, you won’t lift a finger. Breakfast and lunch are exquisite plus a beer after the dive is exactly what anyone could want. Will be going again.

I really enjoyed my time on the Spectre. Below are some of my pros and cons from the trip: Pros: Amazing crew, food, and boat. I have never had such a nice boat for a day scuba excursion. The food was incredible and generous - breakfast and lunch included was a great touch. Cons: Definitely a beginner friendly boat. This means that all the dives we did were under 10m. Intermediate and advanced divers might be looking for something slightly more technical. Also, I am not sure if it was cause of some weather issues, but for my day, all of the dive sites felt very similar. I was hoping for a little more variety. All in all, a great dive boat. Couldn't recommend more for newer divers who are looking for a comfortable boat to do more cold water diving.

I always have a great day of diving with the Spectre Boat. Start the day off right with a coffee and a bacon sandwich on board! The crew are always friendly and helpful. There's plenty of space on the boat to relax between diving. The captain will always drop you in the best spots for diving while the crew top off your tanks and feed you.

The boat is set up well. The crew are knowledgeable and very helpful. This is my 4th time out on the Spectre and the crew are always helpful. Captain found great dive sites in less than ideal conditions.

Absolute best experience on the Spectre dive boat. The crew is Amazing. Safety is first priority - briefings are held before each dive. Spectre crew will make sure you go to the best spots on that particular day. This crew works hard and smiles until the last minute you walk off the boat. TONS of snacks/ drinks and food all day long. I cant wait to be back!

We definitely will be diving with this boat again. The crew was helpful, organized, and super competent. The sites were amazing. The hot tub was great for my daughter who got cold after the second dive. The food was basic, which is just what we needed. Thank you crew for a great experience.

Went Scuba Diving in the Channel Islands for the first time yesterday with Spectre and loved it! Explored 3 sites (two at Santa Cruz Island and one at Anacapa). Zipper on my rental wet suit broke just before the 3rd dive and the captain was able to repair it using zip ties! Glad I brought a dive light so I could see a bunch of California Spiny Lobsters hiding under rocks! Plus a handful of Garibaldis, Sheep heads, and lots and lots of kelp! Definitely top-3 Diving Experience of my life! Boat also provided us with warm breakfast sandwiches, Tri tip / BBQ Chicken after the second dive, and warm brownies + ice cream at the end! My only complaint was I had to burp into my regulator 4 times on the third dive. I blame that on the food being too good 😁 they also sold merch on the boat so I got a shirt and stickers! Thank you Spectre, Dive Master Matt, Captain Nate, Orion, and co.! Will Bohn shall return!

Always a great day out on the with the Spectre and her crew. They put on us great dive sites, food is always great, and brownies after the last dive. Great fun.
