I'm a new diver; Bit by the bug and I want to get…read moreeverything!! All the coolest stuff!! This is the dive shop that will make sure you get the equipment you actually need to do the diving that you want. They service equipment, so they know what's actually good and you don't have to buy stuff twice. I wish I would have gone here first, I would have saved some money! ....and there was this one time that I walked in to the shop and was ready to spend $2,500 on a new drysuit. I walked out of the shop with nothing. ...Nothing but a homework assignment! He told me that he would sell me any drysuit I wanted, but I had to tell him why I wanted that specific suit. I ended up buying a Bare reactive 5mm suit and a hooded vest, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase! ... and there was this one time that I walked into the shop wanting to buy a full face mask regulator. Instead of buying it and seeing if i like it, I was able to book a dive and test out the equipment. I can't say enough good things about this dive shop! Wonderful humans who tell you like it is. This is my permanent dive shop! If you live within 100 miles you should totally come here! Long story short, this is my new dive shop! Everybody here is a pro, and is happy to answer any question you have. John, Debbie, and John jr. are seasoned pros that will lead you in the right direction , Whether you're a new diver like me or someone experienced, if you live near here, this should be your local dive shop for anything you need. This shop teaches you about the equipment you are about to buy Very informative and obviously experienced, I trust what they tell me. Mostly because they don't just tell me something, they explain WHY. Nobody does that.

We took Sundiver out to Catalina for our very first day of open water certification dives with…read moreSharkey's, and they made the whole experience incredible. The crew was so friendly and attentive, especially to us newbies. They checked on everyone, made sure we felt safe, and never once made anyone feel inexperienced. That matters when it's your first open water dives. After dive two, they had HOT chicken soup waiting for us and it was actually good. Not just "boat food" good -- legit comforting after being in the water. There were also plenty of snacks between all three dives, which we definitely appreciated. Now that we're certified, we'll absolutely be back to dive Catalina with them again. Even the more experienced divers on board were welcoming and kind. It honestly felt like one big happy dive family. Can't wait to get back out there

So now we can't fill the tank. I called yesterday and Jeff neither apologized or offered to rectify the situation. He just told me I'd need to come in when the "viz specialist" was there. Why? If they're so good at their job, how did they miss that step?! Or, I could go to the Cypress location and any manager there could affix the sticker. Ok, so...only a "viz specialist" at the HB store, and a manager at Cypress?! Make it make sense! Horrible staff and customer service. You guys should stay closed due to "unforeseen circumstances".

In 4 months of purchasing an underwater cert course, the dive shop only offered one class. After not being able to attend this course and me moving states, I asked for a refund. This process has been conducted very poorly.

Still, they say I have never been in contact with the dive shop. Now going to PADI to try and get a refund. Overall, I have not had a good experience with Dive and Photo.

There was a lot of people in line. I was in the middle and thought I wouldn't get good seats, but I ended up sitting outside in the front. The boat is really nice and big. The front is the best place to sit with a good view of the whales and dolphins. The inside was packed and you don't really see a lot and sitting outside in the back you could smell the fumes from the engine. I did see dolphins and whales - the mom and the calf. They had a couple of experts talk about the whales and dolphins. We were past Newport Beach when we finally saw the whales. We spent a good amount of time seeing them. Then we went back. It's gets windy. It was a fun experience.
