L.A. SCUBA DIVING
From Catalina's kelp forests to the beaches of LA County, L.A. SCUBA DIVING puts expert guides in the water alongside you — so every dive builds real skills, not just bottom time.
Operating out of Van Nuys in the heart of Los Angeles, L.A. SCUBA DIVING guides certified divers across Southern California's most rewarding sites — from Casino Point Dive Park on Catalina Island to local LA County beaches and charter boat departures through the San Pedro Channel. Instructors with over 20 years of training experience lead all in-water activities, and guided sessions are conducted several days a week on demand, with in-depth briefings, sea-condition evaluations, and site tours included with every outing. Guide fees, tank rentals, and air fills are bundled into each guided session, while boat passage and additional gear rentals are available at extra cost. The operation spans a remarkably broad training range — from PADI Open Water certification (including eLearning) all the way up to GUE fundamentals, TDI technical courses, and closed-circuit rebreather instruction. Rebreather students can train on the Dive Rite O2ptima CM Chest-Mount (Choptima), the JJ-CCR, or the Halcyon Symbios Chest-Mount CCR, with dedicated TDI pathways for both no-decompression and deco diving at up to 45 metres. Private and small-group instruction is emphasized throughout, available seven days a week. Specialty workshops — including a distinctive "Diving in Metric" program for divers who want to integrate with international dive communities — round out an offering built around serious skill development. Payment is accepted via Zelle, Venmo, Visa, MC, and AMEX, and instruction is available both in-person and online via Google Meet for divers outside the Los Angeles area.
