Dive Santa Barbara

Local Boat Diving

The Channel Islands are one of the most unique underwater environments in the world. Scuba Diving in kelp forests and with sea lions is a rewarding experience for divers more accustomed to tropical waters. Similar to the tropics, the waters are clear with lavish flora and fauna representing every color imaginable, but unlike tropical diving, the giant kelp and playful sea lions offer another dimension to your diving experience. Our location in Santa Barbara gives us unprecedented access to the waters of both the northern and southern Channel Islands. Your Scuba Diving Adventure is just one call away!

Typically trips are offered Thursday-Sunday during summer months and Friday-Sunday during the Fall, Winter and Spring. The Thursday and Friday trips cost $185 and the weekend trips are $205. This is the out the door price with all taxes and fees included. If you need rental gear for the trip, you can get that through our shop. All the rental prices are found on our website by clicking here.

We make booking for many different Dive Operators, all with different schedules and booking platforms. We would love to be able to integrate all of those platforms, but this is completely out of our control. This is why “Live” availability is not posted on our website. Please fill out the forms below and we will get back to you within 24 hours with availability.
