Starting at dive store at 7.30 a.m. for paperwork and equipment fitting you’ll have the opportunity to snorkel at a couple of different sites at the Catalina Islands. Each water session is around 40mins in length. Groups enter the water after finding the most suitable place to get in and follow the rock formations along looking for sharks, rays, angelfish, butterfly fish, varied species of pufferfish and schools of jacks and grunts. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to see one of our beautiful sea-stars too.
PADI Refresh
PRICE

The refresher program is great for those who haven’t been diving in a while and don’t feel like just jumping right back in without going through equipment and basic skills. Maybe you don’t have many dives under your belt or just feel a bit nervous everytime you want to dive. After filling in the paperwork we’ll take you to the pool with one of our PADI professionals and go through some basic skills and buoyancy practice. After getting comfortable in the water again we’ll take you to the boat to join the morning dive tour.
