Dive Catalina,

107 Pebbly Beach Rd, Avalon, CA 90704, United States

"I had the pleasure of 4 dives over 2 days with Shawn Cape, the Master Diver and owner of the shop. I had NOT dove for 4 years and he did an thorough refresher course ! He is excellent and went thro all the safety checks. This dive site is superb. I totally recommend him and will come back with my family and dive with him again. A BIG THANK YOU SHAWN !"

"Guys, pick another dive shop if you could, they cancelled my dive at the very last minute. Shawn informed us of his illness at 7 am while we were on the boat. Although it’s understandable, he could have told us a day before so we could make an alternative plan. Could you imagine how desperate we were? Woke up at 4am, drove hours to long beach….. To make matters worse, after the last minute cancellation message, we sought advise on Catalina activities and he never reply. A disappointing experience. Fortunately, we were able to walk-in the diver supply which I highly recommend."

"Such a great dive experience! We had two experiences - snorkeling and Scuba. Snorkeling in lovers cove was a fun introduction to the Catalina coastline before we did Scuba the next day. It was my daughter's first dive and Shawn was outstanding in making sure she was comfortable at every step. He was very patient and such a terrific guide through the kelp beds. A great intro dive - now she wants to get certified! Thanks! We will be back again!"

"Very friendly and personable staff, private dives, beautiful scenery. Made reservations by phone using a card. Had to make a few follow-up calls with questions, they were always helpful and friendly. We hadn’t been diving for awhile, but Shawn was patient and knowledgeable. It’s obvious he and Ron have done this for awhile and know how to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Once we got settled in the water, Shawn took us for a great kelp forest tour. He knows right where all the attractions are. It was my first ocean dive and favorite dive experience so far. We would definitely come back here. The shop is small and doesn’t have much room to enter, so plan and dress accordingly. You will likely be suiting up outside the shop (some dive companies in Avalon don’t even have shops). It is not a problem though, these guys will get everything ready for you and bring it out. They made it a super easy, enjoyable experience. They drive you to Casino Point and bring you back to the shop once the dive is over. Everything took just under 2 hours. Our only regret was not booking a snorkeling trip too! Thank you, Shawn and Ron! We will always remember you guys!"

"Absolutely fantastic! I made my reservation over the phone, and the staff was helpful and answered all my questions. Ron himself was our guide for our dive through the kelp forest, and he was patient, informative, and accommodating. He is an ideal person to operate a scuba shop and work as a local area guide, and I am confident that the rest of his team follow his lead. The shop is nudged on Pebbly Beach Road; look for the "Snorkeling Catalina" sign above the entranceway, and the red "Dive Moore" banner on the side. I've included a photo of shop's exterior. After you register your paperwork, they will give you the equipment that you need and drive you over to Casino Point. Everyone is different with their air, but anticipate to be under for @ 45 minutes (give or take) for the guided kelp forest dive."
