Announcements

Our new custom dive boat, the Humboldt, has arrived in San Diego! Tons of space, cool crew, good food, and all the stuff that makes diving in San Diego fun. We’ll be making trips out to the wrecks, down to the Nods, over to the kelp, and to various local points in between. Get ready for an amazing dive experience aboard this beauty!

Update: We are able to carry 22 passengers on board! Reports to date have been overwhelmingly positive about the handling of the boat and the expertise of the crew. Thanks for the input from those who have been diving with us recently. We look forward to diving with you and many others soon!

P.S. Yes, we have Nitrox! Please make your request for Nitrox before you come on board The Humboldt.

Dive Sites

Wreck Alley

There are several wreck dives within a quick boat trip from Mission Bay. These wrecks include the Ruby E, El Rey, Ingraham St. Bridge, a Weather Tower, and most recently and probably best known, The Yukon. The Yukon is a 366 ft. Canadian destroyer sunk in July of 2000 for us divers. All of these wrecks are in sand and situated in open ocean so it is recommended for you to have your Advanced certification, experience on similar dives, or hire a guide. They’re great dives but probably not ideal for a new diver still getting comfortable in the water.

Point Loma Kelp

Point Loma Kelp diving can be your greatest dive, depending on the day’s conditions. Point Loma’s giant kelp is the fastest growing organism in the world, growing two feet a day in ideal conditions. Imagine flying slowly through a forest of suspended fish and you can get an idea of what it’s like to dive in a kelp forest.

Los Coronados Islands

The “Nods” are in Mexican waters (no passport necessary) and take about an hour to reach. The area’s “easiest” dive and closest conditions to what many are used to in the Caribbean. Most of the diving at the Nods is done on the lee side of the island so the water is protected from the oncoming swells. This makes for calmer and clearer waters and makes a nice home for Sea Lions and Harbor Seals. They’re used to divers here, so expect to swim with them on your dive.
