California Local Diving Trips 2012

Technical Diving: Introduction to DIRCalifornia offers some of the most spectacular recreational diving in the world. Southern California is blessed with a chain of local islands known as the Channel Islands of which offer a world-class kelp diving experience. Among local divers Catalina, Santa Cruz and Anacapa are seasonal favorites. Catalina Island, our closest and only populated island offers year round recreational activities. Its waters are highly protected and therefore offer a spectacular opportunity to experience Southern California diving at its best in a safe environment.

The team of highly trained professionals at Ocean Adventures would like to introduce you to our underwater realm. We specialize in small groups in order to maximize safety and ensure a day of unforgettable memories. Our focus is safety and FUN.

Most of our Channel Island Excursions Include 3-4 Dives, Bunks and/or Staterooms, Hot Showers and/or Jacuzzi, Tanks, Air and Weights, Meals (on some boats) and Return by 5-6pm the same day.

Arrive 30 min before departure for check-in,to complete paperwork, show current log-book, certification card and come fully prepared with all dive equipment. If you need to rent dive gear it must be done a day before.

    Other Information: Cancelation Policy, Emergency Contacts.

    Special Note for FARNSWORTH Trips: It is one of the best dives in California with its purple hydrocorals and majestic drop offs, but also an Advanced dive, given that it is a pinnacle island quite deep in the channel with currents. So, we need to make sure that you are ready for that adventure: we require that you are at least Advanced certified, have 50 logged dives and hold DAN or any other dive insurance. Should you not meet these requirements, we can send a Divemaster to accompany you for the day. The cost is $150 (per person) for the Divemaster, plus your and his/her boat fees.
