Dive the kelp forests and sea caves of California's oldest marine reserve with a guide who knows every octopus in the canyon.

San Diego Scuba Guide operates out of La Jolla, running daily guided shore dives and snorkel tours to the La Jolla Cove Ecological Reserve. The cove is a small beach tucked between sandstone cliffs with visibility that can exceed 30 feet in summer months, offering access to kelp beds, underwater caves, and an abundance of reserve-protected marine life. The operator also runs night dives at La Jolla Shores Canyon, described as a 60 to 80 ft dive known for good year-round visibility. Divers can expect encounters with octopuses, sheep crabs, lobsters, bat rays, nudibranches, and squid in the canyon environment. For those seeking travel beyond local waters, San Diego Scuba Guide offers daily trips to Catalina Island's Casino Point. This all-inclusive private tour is limited to a maximum of 3 divers and includes ground transportation, ferry service, full rental equipment, and two guided dives.
