Southern California is a dive destination — and Dive and Photo has the boats, instructors, and local know-how to explore its Channel Island sites, coastal coves, and kelp-draped reefs every day of the year.
Dive and Photo operates out of Costa Mesa, California, running local Southern California boat charters to sites including Shaw's Cove, Casino Point on Catalina Island, Anacapa Island, Crescent Bay, and Woods Cove. The shop actively champions Southern California as a world-class dive destination for everyday divers, not just a stopover before a tropical vacation. Charter trips are multi-tank events — such as their Pacific Star 3-tank dive day — designed to showcase the richness of local waters. Training ranges from PADI Open Water Diver through PADI TecRec technical programs including Discover Tec and Tec Sidemount Diver, plus DAN Emergency Oxygen for Scuba Diving Injuries courses. Classes are offered in group, semi-private, or private formats, with PADI academic components available online for self-paced study before pool and open-water sessions. Beyond instruction and charters, the shop provides equipment rental, repair and maintenance services, an online retail store, and organized international dive travel — making it a comprehensive one-stop resource for divers across Orange County.
