Best Dive Sites in Catalina Island

Catalina Island is a real treasure trove for diving enthusiasts, with a wide variety of sites offering unique and challenging experiences. From vibrant coral reefs to historic shipwrecks, each location has its own charm and wonders to discover.

Catalina Island has very attractive dive sites.

The first one is “The Wall”, which is a really nice dive and full of corals. This site is also ideal for those who like to dive.

The second site is located on the other side of the island. This site is called “Aquarius” and is a beautiful shallow area teeming with life. After diving and snorkeling, we traveled to the island to relax, eat and drink until 3pm.
