Just back from our trip to CURACAO!!!

The Crazy Bunch

"The Crazy Bunch" Joe, Daniel & Jim

If you haven’t been on this trip with us, you definitely missed out.  What an awesome time we all had diving the Dutch Antilles on the island of CURACAO.  Good friends, great viz, warm water and tropical drinks were just a few highlights of our trip.

Exploring the coral reefs with the professional, enthusiastic and super friendly dive staff from Ocean Encounters as our chosen dive operator was just far to much fun.  Their guys and gals dive guides made it every dive a real treat for us a joy for us to explore Curacao’s underwater world. 
We had plenty of awesome dives on and of their boats, but standing out was the  wonderful and adventurous 2-tank Dive Trip to Klein Curacao and East Point. East Point is the first dive site, an unspoiled, lush, and pristine spot, where turtles, rays, large fish, sharks and so much more can be seen.

During our surface interval, the boat did cross over to Klein Curacao for the second dive.
Klein Curacao is a remote, coral island with white sand beaches, crystal clear water, a spectacular reef and colorful sea life. It lies 15 miles off the southeast point of Curacao. We were able to explore Klein Curacao’slandmark lighthouse and a shipwreck that was lodged on the beach many years ago.

Guided Dives San Diego

Dive California

and they’re great people to hang out with too! Collectively we have  thousands of dives

in and around San Diego, and we’re available to show you the best that Undersea San Diego has to offer!

Unless otherwise requested, our guided shore dives take place at
La Jolla Shores or the La Jolla Cove, both of which are in a Marine Reserve.
Within the Marine Reserve it is unlawful to fish or remove anything (other than
trash), which makes it great for you.

Diving at La Jolla Shores/Cove offers a wide variety of diving
experience, typically easy shore access and entry, reasonable visibility, and
highly recommended for anybody interested in have an underwater experience in
San Diego.

The Dive California staff dive at La Jolla Marine Reserve on a
daily basis, and we greatly enjoy showing off the canyon walls, caves, cove,
gardens and teeming marine life available on any given dive. Dive California’s
staff can make your guided dive safe, affordable, easy and enjoyable.

Meet us at our Point Loma dive shop and we’ll:

* Outfit you with a Wetsuit, BCD (if necessary) and any other equipment you  need

* Review the dive plan, conditions and environment for diving on the day you  choose

You’ll dive with a Dive California Divemaster with vast local
diving experience, and experience the undersea world in unforgettable ways!

If you hold at least an  Advanced Open Water certification and have experience
diving in cold water conditions, we can also provide guided dives to other
locations around San Diego, or schedule a guided boat or wreck dive.

While Dive California Divemaster’s have extensive training in dealing with
divers unfamiliar with the area, please note that these are guided tours, and
not a Scuba course. If it’s been 2 years or more since your last dive, or if you
can’t quite remember how to connect your equipment, let us know and we can
talk about our Refresher Course. Refresher Courses combined with private guided
dives are available for anyone interested.
