Sundiver Dive Destinations

Southern California offers some of the finest SCUBA diving destinations in the world. While colder than the tropics, the waters of Southern California offer an amazingly diverse range of fish and invertebrate life. Visibility at these sites averages 50 feet and can exceed 100 feet. The kelp forests are lush and home to myriad sea creatures. Whether you are a hunter, photographer, wreck diver, ecologist, technical diver or simply curious, Southern California dive sites have something for you. Catalina, San Clemente, Santa Barbara, and San Nicolas Islands offer some truly world class diving. The wrecks of the Olympic II, the Palawan, the USS Moody, and the Ace I are all large intact shipwrecks teeming with fish life and waiting to be explored.

All of these sites are within easy reach from our landing in Long Beach. Come join us for a single or multi-day trip of discovery and adventure!

Southern California Wrecks and Reef Sites

The following is a partial list of wrecks and reef sites in the Southern California area. The locations of many of these sites are not widely known to the general public. Our livelyhood is largely dependant on knowing what the other guy doesn't. Local knowledge and a variety of destinations are the keys to our success. We pride ourselves in knowing all that we can about our local shipwrecks and underwater resources and we are always on the look-out for new sites that have yet to be discovered.
