Waterhorse Charters

Tour operator

👍👍 One of the best dive trips I've been on in California. The crew is GREAT! knowledgeable, friendly, welcoming, and did not make me feel like my plethora of questions was too much. The boat was great, good snacks, helpful. I can't say enough good things about this trip on the Humbolt with Waterhorse C...

Zach's Scuba Shack

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 I had a blast diving with Zach’s Scuba Shack. You couldn’t ask for a better guide or diving experience. The water temp was 62, and the surge was a little rough that day. But the sea lions and Kelp forest were amazing. I am a scuba instructor and will recommend Zach’s Scuba Shack to anyone wanting...

👍👍 Had an amazing time getting my PADI cert with Fletcher. He is professional, knowledgeable and made the whole experience comfortable and so much fun. From the pool training to the ocean, he made the whole process feel extremely safe. We did our final dive in Catalina and 10/10 would recommend. Thank...

Scuba.com

Dive shop

😠 Not only did one of the $1,100 masks that we purchased come with a broken regulator - our box came damaged and we have 2 invoices that are not even to us, they’re to two other people from two different companies. There is clearly no one doing quality checks here and it’s unfortunate because had some...

DIVE CALIFORNIA

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 Booked a one tank dive and had a wonderful time. Julian and Michael were safety focused, but still wanted to make sure it was a fun experience. It's a shame that environment conditions were cloudy/low visibility but we got to see beautiful kelp forest, sea lions, and lobsters! I am definitely consi...

👍👍 I am so happy I found this dive shop! I was looking to complete my open water certification VERY quickly for an upcoming vacation (in ~2 weeks).

Riverside Scuba

Dive shop

😠 STUDENTS BE WARE! READ THE REVIEWS! These are not good people to do business with. Nico is a dishonest instructor.

Sea Stallion Scuba Outfitters

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE... I found the Sea Stallion through Groupon and after reading all the "bad" reviews, was concerned about the service level and the prices they would charge for the basic Scuba Certification gear. I stopped by the store yesterday afternoon and Kevin helped me. He was very...

Dive Catalina

SCUBA tour agency

👍👍 Absolutely fantastic! I made my reservation over the phone, and the staff was helpful and answered all my questions.

👍👍 Perfect! My buddy and I haven’t dive for a year. We did a refresher course today. We reviewed all the things and then dive for 3mins. The water was cold so we wear 7mm wetsuit. All the gears were clean. We will come next time!

Beach Cities Scuba

SCUBA instructor

👍👍 We were here over Labor Day weekend and rented suits and gear. Seth and the other staff were great!

Just a walk down t...
