Eco Dive Center

Dive into Southern California's kelp forests, rocky reefs, and island waters with Los Angeles' top-rated dive center — where every weekend brings a new adventure to Catalina, Anacapa, or Santa Cruz Island.

Eco Dive Center, operating out of West Los Angeles at 4027 Sepulveda Blvd, has been serving the Southern California dive community for 22+ years. The center runs regular single-day boat charters to Catalina Island, Anacapa, and Santa Cruz Island, where divers explore kelp forests, encounter sea lions, and discover vibrant Channel Islands marine life. Dive sites are chosen by the boat captain based on best conditions — factoring visibility, tide, current, surge, swell, and wind — ensuring each trip delivers the best possible underwater experience. Beyond boat charters, Eco Dive Center is a full-scale PADI and SDI training facility with over 30 instructors and full-time staff offering courses from beginner Open Water certification through Advanced, Rescue, Divemaster, technical, and rebreather programs. Students can choose between island boat dives or beach dives for their open water training, or mix and match across weekends. The center also organizes tropical group travel — including a guided Bali adventure — and runs a vibrant community event calendar featuring beach clean-up dives, shore diving education classes, specialty courses, and monthly social gatherings. Eco Dive Center operates a full retail showroom stocking major brands including ScubaPro, Aqua Lung, Shearwater, Hollis, Mares, Suunto, and many more, with a price-beat guarantee and frequent free-gear-with-purchase promotions. Their LA County 3R's (Rocks, Rips and Reefs) class series offers shore diving education at local beaches throughout summer, and the shop runs an active events schedule aimed at building the broader Los Angeles diving community.
