    By chance, my wife and I booked her first OW dive as a certified diver and were rewarded with some of the best conditions I've ever seen here and that is since 1976. We've done several trips and love the boat and the people. The other divers have also always been great company. We did Picnic and Treasure Island and got great direction from Captain Bob as to navigation. We looked around and have found BCS to be the best in the business, really a one stop shop.

    We had a great time on Riviera Charters. Bob and Chris were very professional and very nice. We felt safe on and off the boat. We're new to diving and the captain and crew put our minds at ease from the onset and made our trip very enjoyable.

    A student and I were on the riviera last weekend for an Advanced Open Water dive course. Dive Master Kuhns did an amazing job helping weight redistribution during PPB. The staff was amazing helping get us in the water and out of the water. The snacks and water helped keep us recharged during the second and third dives.

    Bob saw a fishing boat in a protected area and respectfully recommended that they move to a legal place.

    If I could give them 100 stars, I would! Andy, Sophia and…read moreAllen are so awesome! This shop has gone above and beyond for us and we will continue to shop here and take classes. This shop is fantastic!

    Stop wasting your time calling shops looking for scuba instruction and comparing. I have already…read moredone it. This little shop in costa mesa right with super easy location access and their people are the best. I called Dive & Photo last minute wanting to have accelerated private open water PADI instruction/certification for myself and a son and daughter both in their 20s. 3 days of instruction later. Done. Dive & Photo one of their instructors, Allen Gibson in touch with me and he made it happen. Of course an older retired marine veteran would be effecient and organized. Allen was everything you could ask for in an instructor. Expert. Efficient. Prepared. Patient. Flexible. Fantastic teacher and communicator with our varied learning styles and backgrounds. He made sure each one of us mastered the material. The gear provided was great. We bought dive fins at the shop and Allen walked us through the options and pricing was good. Everything from first call to gear to instruction was Five Star. Allen had the beach conditions and reef area for our dives in laguna wired (and I have lived in laguna all my life) even the parking set-up. Honestly there were a couple other shops that were doing their dives just arriving after we had gotten started and I felt sorry for them. They looked so disorganized. Allen had us ready to go and confident in our set up and knowledge before we entered stepped in the ocean. None of us can wait to do a dive trip with him and the shop. Stop calling around
