If you're looking for a truly extraordinary underwater experience, look no further than diving Isla Catalina with Private Dive Service. We'll plunge you into the depths of Isla Catalina, revealing its most dazzling underwater treasures and providing everything you need to enjoy an unparalleled diving trip.
Best Dive Sites on Catalina Island
Catalina Island is a real treasure trove for diving enthusiasts, with a wide variety of sites offering unique experiences — from vibrant coral reefs to historic shipwrecks. The first is "The Wall," a really nice dive full of corals, ideal for those who love wall diving. The second, on the other side of the island, is "Aquarius," a beautiful shallow area teeming with life. After diving and snorkeling, we travel to the island to relax, eat and drink until 3pm.
Tips for Beginners
If you're new to scuba diving, Catalina Island is a perfect place to start. Although not a strict requirement, we highly recommend obtaining the basic open water certification before traveling. Our certified instructors offer one-on-one or small-group lessons, guiding you through the sites and helping you practice in a safe environment. If you don't have your own equipment, we offer high-quality complete rental at reasonable prices. Start in shallow water to acclimatize before moving on to more challenging sites, and go at your own pace.
A Preserved Natural Sanctuary
Catalina Island is part of the Parque Nacional del Este, a protected area home to some of the most pristine marine and terrestrial ecosystems in the region. By diving with us, you not only enjoy incredible experiences — you contribute to preserving this natural paradise. We follow sustainable, eco-friendly practices such as limiting the number of divers per dive, not feeding wildlife, and minimizing impact on fragile coral reefs.
