Catalina Scuba

"10/10 for today’s dive with Catalina Scuba. Gear: pristine condition, high quality rental equipment included in the price! I used a BARE 7mm wetsuits, hood, DiveRite backplate & Atomic regs. This was the best setup I’ve ever seen a shop provide. Service: hands on, great briefings, equipment setup / changeover provided. Guide: Kara was fantastic! She made everyone feel at ease. She’s charismatic & had us cracking up during our very cold surface interval. Underwater, she paid perfect attention to every diver, set a great pace & pointed out some neat hard-to-find critter. I highly recommend Catalina Scuba & look forward to many more dives together!"

"My wife and I did our advanced certs + Nitrox with Catalina Scuba. Nicky and Chris were very accommodating and fist class throughout the entire process. We immediately felt comfortable and felt like they truly cared that we had the best experience possible. Every lesson plan was well taught and explained thoroughly. Nicky was excellent at underwater instruction and knew the dive sites like they were second nature. I can't begin to explain how much fun we had and how memorable the trip will forever be. Thanks Nicky and Chris!"

"Kara Fullmer (guide/instructor) was excellent! She was patient, professional, enthusiastic and thorough. I would love to dive with her again when I return to Catalina. The equipment was well maintained and appeared to be brand new. I was warm and comfortable wearing the thick wetsuit in the cold water. One of my best diving experiences. Thanks very much! Highest quality (*****)"

"Chris, the owner with his wife, has down a great and very supportive system to help divers enjoy their experience! I did 4 dives with Chris in one day (one other joined us for 2) on a weekday, and we had a blast. Highlight was seeing a very rarely seen Sea Turtle, resting in the dive area just off The Casino. He knows the area like his own backyard, allowing me to get the very most of my dives."

"Really enjoyed my experience w Chris and Catalina Scuba. We had several hiccups along the way flying in and connecting to the ferry on the day, and Chris and the dive shop accommodated us by delaying our dive time, giving us some buffer time to lunch. Chris was super patient and explained the dive in advance for us. Afterwards he gave good advice for my dive buddy to better improve his dives. Perfect dive spot, well kept gear and instructor. We can’t wait to be back."
