About
Divers come back from Pacific Coast Dive Center's trips to the Catalinas and Sombrero talking about manta rays, white-tip sharks, and schools of barracuda — sometimes with dolphins showing off beside the boat. Reviewers consistently praise the safety-first crew, clear instruction for newer divers, and the fresh fruit, water, and cookies served between tanks. Guides like Sandra and Risky get named again and again for knowing their marine life inside out and taking real care of guests from booking to the last surface interval.

We saw many chill white tip sharks, a variety of Star fish, Porcupine fish, Pufferfish, a few Eels, Cornetfish, Angelfish, Giant Hawkfish, Butterfly fish, Trumpetfish, Damsel, Wrasse, Chromis, sea urchins, a hiding lobster, lots of different types of Trigger fish, Parrot fish, a few different schools of fish, on our safty stop, we were lucky to see a school of big Barracuda and when we surfaced, we were lucky again to see a pod of Dolphins showing off close to our boat. In-between dives, we were offered fresh fruit, water and cookies. The staff were professional and kind. Marie took great care of us, she was really fun and energetic and showed us a great time. Thank you Pacific Coast divers, my daughter and I had a lovely day with you all ❤️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough great things about Pacific Coast Dive Company. From start to finish, the experience felt completely concierge- level - every detail was handled with care, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. As a group, we felt incredibly well taken care of. The team took their time with us, never rushed anything, and made sure we were comfortable and confident every step of the way. Their communication and guidance were clear, thorough, and reassuring—especially important when diving abroad. Safety was clearly a top priority, which gave me so much peace of mind. You can tell they truly care about their divers and operate at a very high standard. A special thank you to my dive partner and group leader, Sammy, who was absolutely fantastic—attentive, knowledgeable, and made the entire experience even more enjoyable. Risky, Sandra, you all were wonderful. This was hands down one of the most service-oriented dive experiences I’ve had. I would highly recommend them to anyone, whether you’re experienced or newer to diving. I will definitely be back!
Awesome dive experience where I got to witness my first manta ray!! Such an abundance of sea life in Islas Catalinas. The crew was awesome and very helpful with instructions, and getting us suited up with wetsuits, fins, and our BCD’s and tanks. The shop also provides Discover dives for those who are not certified. The instructors and boat crew made the two tank dive experience seamless. Will be returning!
