Due to COVID-19, and in an abundance of caution we have implemented policies recommended or required by the local government and DAN (Divers Alert Network).
Our policies include reducing our passenger load from 14 divers to 8 divers, to ensure adequate social distancing. This has required a slight (hopefully temporary) increase in our normal prices.
Our new limited load will provide a personal experience you won't forget and can't get anywhere else!

Diving Conditions
Our staff on board strives to be the friendliest, most helpful and most experienced in the area. There are there to make your trip safe, fun and to help you with any questions you may have. Most of our staff are Dive-masters or Scuba Instructors, avid lobster hunters and free-divers, so if you need help are there to give you some pointers.
It is important to note that our Dive-masters are not able to dive with you on a dive. In California, it is common that you will dive with your dive buddy and not in a group lead by a dive-master. Our captains are place the anchor that can be used as a descent line directly on the dive sight. The best diving is right at the anchor line, so you may follow the anchor line for your descent and ascent.
Our water temperatures vary and range from 52-58 degrees Fahrenheit in the months of February to June and then increase to 56-64 degrees Fahrenheit in the months of July to January. The best diving is from June to February and during that time we can find excellent visibility ranging from 40'-100'+. During the months of March, April and May we find that conditions are a bit rougher with more winds and lesser visibility. Diving can be great during these months, it is just not as consistent as the other times of the year.
Things that you might expect to see on your trip include:
-
Dolphins and whales while crossing from the mainland to the islands.
When we are diving we can see:

Sea lions, Bat rays, Garibaldi, Lobsters, Abalone, Sea urchins, Sea stars, Kelp forests, Calico bass, Giant sea bass, Octopus, Horn sharks, Torpedo rays, Shrimps, Nudibranchs and many other critters.
