They guided we all around the dive park and I was able to see an abundance of incredible wildlife in both my day dive and night time dive. The highlights were definitely the giant sea bass and harbor seals! 10/10 definitely recommend!

A big thank you to our dive guide, Dave, with Diving Catalina for giving my son and me an…read moreunforgettable first night dive at Catalina's Casino Point Dive Park. The rental gear, including the dive lights, was in excellent condition, and Dave's safety briefing was thorough and professional while keeping the experience relaxed and enjoyable. The highlight of the dive was a curious harbor seal that followed us for much of the dive, using our lights to spot and catch fish along the way. Seeing the dive park come alive after dark was a completely different experience from diving it during the day. I highly recommend Diving Catalina for anyone wanting to experience the magic of a Catalina night dive.

Training was very hands on and any questions regarding hypothetical scenarios and specific circumstances were answered with knowledge built from experience. She took initiative to make sure all of the students were tended to and accommodated, as the different students came into the class at different levels of comfort with being in the water. More importantly, the entire experience was FUN! You can tell everyone in the shop loves what they do and makes you feel very welcome. I will be pursuing my other certifications here and will definitely book more trips through them in the future!

Excellent Dive Shop, Awesome experience everytime. For 12…read moreyears I have been diving with Dive Catalina, we always have such a wonderful experience diving with Shawn from Dive Catalina. Shawn is a fantastic guide--professional, patient, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Catalina's underwater world. Safe and comfortable the entire time, while also keeping the dives fun and memorable. His knowledge of the local marine life is incredible, and he has a great way of pointing out things you might otherwise miss. On our last dive trip, it was also a real pleasure to meet up again with Ron Moore, the previous owner. It was nice to see the continuity of Dive Catalina's warm, welcoming spirit carried on from Ron to Shawn. The whole experience always feels personal and special, and it's clear that the love for diving and the ocean runs deep here. We can't recommend Dive Catalina highly enough--thank you Shawn (and Ron) for making our dive trips unforgettable!

It's usually clean and free of seaweed, and it just smells so good... no icky fish or seaweed decay odors; just clean ocean beach air. This beach only gets GOOD tanning sun during PEAK Summer hours, otherwise, it's kind of... a gamble on the tides and the time of day as to whether you can use the beach for tanning or not. It's a nice beach to NOT get tons of sun on, especially after about 5PM to sunset. It varies, of course, but that's TYPICALLY what you'll find happening. I do NOT believe this area has a lifeguard watching it (?) but correct me if wrong. I don't and haven't seen a lifeguard stand here. The next beach OVER, however does have a lifeguard watching post. This is the spot to go relax... and just sit with yourself and your thoughts. Let the tide rise a little, and then let it go out... and let your problems go with it. It's the best therapy for free you can get, I think... but, anyway... enjoy! :]
