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!

I was first asked to do an e-learning course and then my instructor, Rane, went over the material again with me. Which was great as I can see how thorough he was and how much safety is in everyone's priority. Rane was pretty cool and relaxed, which is also why I feel assured before and during the dive. And the dive, divine, the water was very clear, a lot of fishes and even got to see a baby ray. Overall an awesome experience and very much worth it. Really expanded my world and even made me consider getting certified!

The gun was unusable for the entire trip. Total disaster. When I got home, I reached out to Spear America and Noah immediately diagnosed the issue, identified the correct spear, and went a step further. He swapped out the incorrect European tip so I wasn't stuck paying twice to get the job done right. That kind of service is rare. He didn't have to do it. He chose to. Saved me money, solved the problem, and turned a frustrating trip into something I can laugh about now. Customer for life.

Really great dive shop and highly recommend them when thinking about a Catalina Island dive…read more I wandered in here on a Saturday and David helped sign me up for a dive right at the dive park here. No boat dives available, all full. I haven't dived since the pandemic and last dive was in The Maldives and I told David all this but we both came to the conclusion I could join the group dive on Sunday. Fast forward to Sunday and I show up at 9:30am for my 10am dive. All the staff here are really great and very helpful. Since I came early, I got a tour of where all the equipment are housed and shown where the bathroom and showers are. At 10am, the dive master returns from the 8am dive and introduced himself to me. Joel was one of the best dive masters I have ever had, super patient and knowledgeable. Since I haven't dived since 2019, I'm supposed to take a refresher course, but both David and Joel sized me up, and let me do the group dive. I was a bit rusty but things came back quickly once I had all my gear on, mask, BCD, regulator, tank, weights. We went down to 59 feet and definitely swam thru a lot of kelp forest and saw some fish but nothing too mind blowing. Mother Nature does her thing. While $130/tank isn't exactly cheap, I'd say for the gear, the special attention/refresher I received and even letting me go on a group dive when they could have easily said no, it was all very worth it for me. I opted to not dive a second tank given the water conditions (not as clear as I would like) and it just being a lot of people and the water was too cold honestly. I was in a 7mm and still really cold. Id definitely book this dive shop again and will return so I can dive the cavern wall over near Two Harbors. Thanks David and Joel for making this a great experience and now I have another dive under my belt.
