Beginner Scuba experience- shark, turtle, ray, moray eel, and tons of fish - The whole staff were super friendly and accommodating. I had zero scuba experience and my guide Ivan took me through everything in a very straightforward way, within about 10 minutes we were cruzing along the bottom for the first of 2 45 mins dives as deep as 35 ft. We saw turtles, shark, sting ray, moray eel, and tons of different fish. Highly recommend. Definitely opt for the pictures, I have tons of great pictures from the dives

Beautiful dives with Angie from Pacific Coast Dive - We were able to dive with Pacific Coast Dive in Catalina despite the heavy rains. A big thank you to our Divemaster Angie who made us discover wonderful sites with abundant wildlife, rays, sharks... good visibility below 15m deep. Thank you.

Great experience! - Wonderful tour! Ivan was great! My husband is certified but I am not. We have gone diving together several times through the years. Ivan did a good refresher in the pool and then took us on two dives. Equipment was great. Ivan was very safety conscious. Would highly recommend!

Great way try scuba!!!!! - What a great experience this was for a couple in their 60's who have never scuba dove. The dive center and especially our instructor Ivan carefully guided us and taught us the basics. First in a pool then out in the middle of the Pacific. We completed two dive, and staff was able to capture the moment with pictures. I also want to mention how attentive and helpful all the crew and the owner were in answering questions. Next step for us likely will be certification. Thanks again team!

Great experience - First experience diving with oxygen tanks. Thanks to the team it was a great day. Training in the pool was well organized. Our guide Riski was rigourous, fun, and safety oriented. Dives in the ocean allowed me to meet with a sea turtle, octopus, small sharks and many more fishes. I strongly recommend Pacific Coast Dive Center.

Great non-certified diving course! - We did the scuba dive package for non-certified diver in early September. My wife and I loved the adventure! We got up early to do a pool learning session that taught us the basics and was enough for us to get comfortable. My wife and I felt very safe before going to the ocean for our dives. We had our instructor Ivan to ourselves to keep us safe and guide us. He was awesome! We got two open water dives that day. We saw tons of wildlife including all kinds of fish, eels, sea turtles, rays, and white tip sharks! We got a small rest between dives where they had fruit and cookies to refuel us. Overall it was a great experience for those looking to try diving without getting ur license yet.
